Three angels in the sky this mornin' Well I could see 'em clear as day Yes babe I was waitin' on that old miracle Or maybe I'm just waitin' on the rain
They're sayin' 6 or 7 inches now Yeah and we heard that one before Back then nobody paid attention And the river came knockin'
At the door At the door Hey Mama I been long At the door At the door Mama it's your blackeyed boy
Nobody said it was easy But sometimes I like my memory to lie I'll see sunlight on the battlefields And the view from the cherry painted line
Oh I remember the long dark hallways Following the snake all the way And I'm 10 years old and the band started playin' Like oh my God Oh my God Oh my God Oh my God I been long At the door At the door Mama it's your blackeyed boy
I'm leavin' home With a cheap new jacket And a secret no one knows And if I tell it to you I gotta tell myself too
And if your dreams should ever chase you down And force you to confront 'em Yes babe there ain't no master plan That's gonna come knockin'
At your door At your door Hey Mama I been long At your door At your door Mama it's your blackeyed boy
