When In Roam
My mother told me just to look
Was the same as just to roam
I've been reading my Good Book
My eyes have bade destruction
Oh Lord, I needed a woman
Just to make me right
Ooh
So many people try to figure it out
So many folks gettin run around
Oh now wait a minute
I got a story for you
There was a time when love meant nothing
I was set in my own ways
I kept on moving from woman to woman
No one could know my fate
Oh Lord, I needed a woman
Just to make me right
Ooh
So many people try to figure it out
So many folks gettin run around
Oh now wait a minute
I got a story for you
There was no pill I didn't take
No law I didn't break
Give me your name and I'll get your number
No rock that I hid under
My mother told me son
Only foolish are drawn
Ooh
So many people try to figure it out
So many folks gettin run around
Oh now wait a minute
I see the light of day
Oh Mother
Please don't hate me
Oh the life of liberty
Put scars right through my feet
She said, "What's wrong?"
I said, "I am fine."
She said, "I pray for you
Every day, every night."
Cuando Vagabundeo
Mi madre me dijo que solo mirar
Era lo mismo que solo vagar
He estado leyendo mi Buen Libro
Mis ojos han pedido destrucción
Oh Señor, necesitaba una mujer
Solo para enderezarme
Ooh
Tanta gente trata de entenderlo
Tanta gente dando vueltas
Oh ahora espera un minuto
Tengo una historia para ti
Hubo un tiempo en que el amor no significaba nada
Estaba aferrado a mis propias costumbres
Seguí pasando de mujer en mujer
Nadie podía conocer mi destino
Oh Señor, necesitaba una mujer
Solo para enderezarme
Ooh
Tanta gente trata de entenderlo
Tanta gente dando vueltas
Oh ahora espera un minuto
Tengo una historia para ti
No hubo pastilla que no tomara
No hubo ley que no rompiera
Dame tu nombre y conseguiré tu número
No hubo roca bajo la que me escondiera
Mi madre me dijo hijo
Solo los tontos son atraídos
Ooh
Tanta gente trata de entenderlo
Tanta gente dando vueltas
Oh ahora espera un minuto
Veo la luz del día
Oh Madre
Por favor no me odies
Oh la vida de libertad
Puso cicatrices en mis pies
Ella dijo, '¿Qué pasa?'
Yo dije, 'Estoy bien.'
Ella dijo, 'Rezo por ti
Cada día, cada noche.'
