Lyrics

If I lose my mind
Duet with porter wagoner

Copyright 1971

Mama it's so good to be back home again I'm so proud to see that you are
Looking well
Yes I know that I look a little weary oh but mama I have been through living
Hell
You know how much I've always loved you mama
But he done things to me I couldn't understand
Why he made me watch him love another woman
And we tried to make me love another man
Mama can I feel a little different I need you now even more than I depend
And I need the love I've lost and understanding and a lot of time to get me
Over him
If I lose my mind mama I wanna be here with you
Have them locked me up and see I have good care
But I just couldn't stand this torture any longer
I was afraid of what I'd do if I stayed there
