[Chorus]
Oh, Mama
I really did it this time
Oh, Mama
I'm out over the line

You know I've been on this trip a long, long time but I guess I'll get there yet
You said I could take your well worn path but it seemed too safe a bet
You laugh and you dance to beat the band so does a marionette

[Repeat Chorus]

No, I never could see why you'd run so hard in a race that can't be won
You know I came of age the day I saw your lives had not begun
I've been slipping away toward a rendezvous with the land of the midnight sun

[Repeat Chorus]
