"Well you know that I love you
And I always will
I've heard where I'm going is where the action is
I'm going to the city in a big house with three friends
I'm leaving in the morning with a suitcase in my hand

But don't you worry mama
I'll write when I can
You know your baby boy
Has turned into a man
Turned into a man

Dear mother I've been here now a week
The city ain't as pretty as people say it is
I'm now called a roadie I drive 'round in a car
The band seem quite friendly
Well that's the story so far

But don't you worry mama
I'll write when I can
You know your baby boy
Has turned into a man
Turned into a man

I get stoned in the evenings
With the smoke and the booze
My mother would go crazy if she only knew
Oh I try to convince her that I eat good food
I'm sure she'd come cooking if I said she could

But don't you worry mama
I'll write when I can
You know your baby boy
Has turned into a man
Turned into a man.";kyn
