It's been a real long time since i've seen it I'm sadly curious what's going down that way Within my heart and soul, i'll always be there But there's no way i can go back i just can't go Mama yo no can't go, mama no yo can't go no, no Sometimes i can't believe how much you miss it I'm trying to understand mama but i just don't know What will you find back there, that you ain't got here I won't go back i'll tell you now i just can't go (chorus) I can't go, i can't go Mama yo no can't go I can't go, i can't go Mama yo no can't go I'm into liberty, i 'm into freedom
And god i know someday they will overcome Within my heart and soul, i;ll always be there But there's no way i can go i just can't go (repeat chorus) (ad libs) No matter what you do or what you say I ain't going anyway no I told you once i'll tell you twice again Mama yo no just can't win, no, no It's been a real long time since last i've seen it I'm sadly curious what's going on down that way Within my heart and soul, i'll always be there But there's no way i can go back, i just can't go (repeat chorus)
