Lyrics

Wakin' up in South Bend
 Stretched a little too thin to stand
 I think I overshot it
 Still, I'm havin' trouble remembering your plan (Mmm)
 I thought you were an angel
 Said "I was finished when you came to me" (Oh)
 You tell me call you Donna
 Keep sayin' "Boy, I'd love to take you with me" (Oh)
 She says "I know there's no good time to say this...
 So I won't tell you my story
 Heaven knows I'm not here to preach
 I'm just tryin' to take care of family
 The only lesson I would try to teach
 That's my boy upstairs there, detoxin'
 Goes by the name of Young Tom Rose
 Good kid, bad habits, you know how it goes"
 She says "I know there's no good time to say this
 But please take care of my son"
 My man
 Take a second for young Tom Rose
 He picked a hard, hard way to go
 He needs a guidin' hand
 So love him as hard as you can
 Oh, say a prayer for young Tom Rose
 He picked a long, long, lonely road
 He needs help from his friends
 So love him as hard as you can
 I try to pull myself together
 Give me just a second, let me please explain
 I'm not a junkie, just a playboy
 And I never learned to understand that pain
 But I'll do my best to assist, Lord
 Oh, angel Donna, won't you show the way?
 Good kid, bad habits, I will do my best to save
 She says "I may not have learned how to do this
 But please take care of my son"
 My man
 Take a second for young Tom Rose
 He picked a long, hard way to go
 He needs a guidin' hand
 So love him as hard as you can
 Oh, say a prayer for young Tom Rose
 He picked a long, long, lonely road
 He needs help from his friends
 So love him as hard as you can
 ♪
 Find me in Salt Lake City (Find me)
 Won't somebody, somebody, find me
 Sanctuary
 I will see you there
 Salt Lake City (Find me)
 Won't somebody, somebody, find me
 Sanctuary
 I will see you there
 To every mother's son
 Midway through your marathon run
 Somebody's out there
 Sayin' take care of my son
 By the name of the Young Tom Rose
 He picked a hard, hard way to go
 He needs a guidin' hand
 So love him as hard as you can
 Oh, say a prayer for young Tom Rose
 He picked a long, long, lonely road
 He needs help from his friends
 So love him as hard as you can
 Somebody find me
 Somebody find me
 Somebody find me
 And love me as hard as you can
 Ooh, somebody find me
 Ooh, somebody find me
 Somebody find me and love me as hard
