Come on mamma, put your good dress on   The night is young and we're goin' downtown   Where faces come and faces go   It ain't very far you know      Come on mamma, is it really that hard   To lose yourself right where you are   Till your money's gone and your mind is bent   You couldn't say where midnight went      Chorus:   Winding pathways, blind-sided fools   How could you let them get the best of you   Stumblin' footfalls, someone calls your name   Been calling you, stay just the same, just the same      Come on mamma, let it fade away   For good this time and gone we'll stay   All the scenes are gonna pass on by   I swear we'll leave it all behind      [ Chorus ]
