VERSE I Mama said her gift to me was spoken in her words Don't make the same mistakes she made, now don't get hurt 'Cause sometimes in your hunger, to please and hold him true You'll find the color of your life has turned to black and blue You'll find the color of your life has turned to black and blue
PRE-CHORUS So hard to stay ...... harder yet to go But mama's words on the phone that day told me all I need to know...........
CHORUS I Take the comfort train through New Orleans back home to Tennessee Or take the fastest plane that you can find and get right home to me I'm waitin' here with open arms and a love that's yours to hold All you gotta do is leave All you gotta do is leave
VERSE 2 Mama said she understands, my daddy was the same Sometimes his life was hard and she tried to bear his pain But he crossed the line so many times so she finally had to go Either that or live a bitter life, dressed in black and blue Either that or live a bitter life, dressed in black and blue
PRE-CHORUS CHORUS 1
BRIDGE The highest love you'll ever find is the one that's for yourself Without that love, any other love is hollow as a shell You'll always let him put you down, you'll always let him win But mama's words came true today and I found myself again
CHORUS 2 I took the comfort train through New Orleans back home to Tennessee Didn't need to take the fastest plane, that train was right for me Mama's here with open arms and a love that's mine to hold All I had to do was leave All I had to do was leave
I took the comfort train through New Orleans back home to Tennessee I took the comfort train through New Orleans back home to Tennessee I took the comfort train through New Orleans............back home
