I'm Not The Boy I Used To Be lyrics - Charley Pride

Dear mama I'm coming home tomorrow

If you don't mind would you meet me at the train

Dear mama my wandering days're over and it's so good to be coming home again

Dear mama we'll walk the fields together

And through the valley we will stroll hand in hand

I just can't wait to see you and touch the soil of home so clean

But mama I'm not the boy I used to be

For I've been gone away too long and I've done everything that's wrong

But I think I've finally found myself at last

And just you wait and see another chance is all I need

But mama I'm not the boy I used to be

You see mama I've spent time in prison for a crime that I'm too ashamed to tell

And when you meet me there tomorrow don't be surprised at what you'll see

Cause mama I'm not the boy I used to be

For I've been gone away too long...
