You know I'm everything I am because of you
What I carry in my hand, you gave that, too
Now the moment's come 'round
Going with the moving ground
Oh yeah
When I know you care too much for your own good
And I know you'd make me stick around if you could
But I'm closing the door of my empty room
And I'm taking every picture, I'll see you soon
Ohoohohoohoh, you catch me
Ohoohohoohoh, you catch me
Oh Mother, I know it's hard to let me go
But I've fallen down, still falling now
Oh Mother, though it's hard to let you know
I'm leaving you, I'm leaving you for another girl
Drive-In Sunset Boulevard
Yeah, she loves my beat-up car
Knows that I'm no superstar, but she don't care
So I'm writing to you now
Funny how it all works out
Ohoohohoohoh, believe me
Ohoohohoohoh, believe me
Oh Mother, I know it's hard to let me go
But I've fallen down, still falling now
Oh Mother, though it's hard to let you know
I'm leaving you, I'm leaving you
I know it's hard to let me go, to let me go
You didn't want so you should know, so you should know
Ohoohohoohoh, you catch me
Ohoohohoohoh, you catch me
Oh Mother, I know it's hard to let me go
But I've fallen down, still falling now
Oh Mother, though it's hard to let you know
I'm leaving you, I'm leaving you
Oh Mother, I know it's hard to let me go
But I've fallen down, still falling now
Oh Mother, though it's hard to let you know
I'm leaving you, I'm leaving you for another girl
