Hey mama, when you leave
Dont leave a thing behind
I dont want nothin
I cant use nothin Take care into the hall
And if you see my friends
Tell them Im fine
Not using nothin Almost burned out my eyes
Threw my ears down to the floor
I didnt see nothin
I didnt hear nothin I stood there like a block of stone
Knowin all I had to know
And nothin more
Man, thats nothin Being born is going blind
And bowin down a thousand times
To echoes strung
On pure temptation Sorrow and solitude
These are the precious things
And the only words
That are worth rememberin And, mama, when you leave
Dont leave a thing behind
I dont want nothin
I cant, I cant use nothin I cant use nothin
