Felt "Destination" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Felt" 

Well every day we spend together

Has touched my heart forever

But I must leave, now or never

And seek a life that I must live

On the road lookin' for my place in life

I got no time for speculation

Help me find my destination

I must be free to suit my freeing

For better ways of being

And living long and seeing

The things this life has to give

On the road lookin' for my place in life

I got no time for speculation

Help me find my destination

Well I have thought of things concerning

My life and love of learning

And yet I'm always yearning

For more to see and more to do

On the road lookin' for my place in life

I got no time for speculation

Help me find my destination

Felt "Weepin' Mama Blues" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Felt" 

My mama never had nothing

That she could call her own

When I was three my daddy left me

And my mother all alone

I had to quit school and get a job

So I could pay my way

I broke my back in cotton field

For 15 cents a day

But don't cry mama

Don't you cry

Oh mama don't you cry

We made it through till '60

When Vietnam broke out

My brother got killed and that gave

My mama some more to cry about

They sent us a wire and said

That he'd been killed in an attack

He helped a friend to get on his feet

And they shot him in the back

But don't cry mama

Don't you cry

Oh mama don't you cry

We made it through our trouble

We made it through the war

But mother's heart was so weak

And she just couldn't take any more

I told her not to worry

That we always had survived

But in the winter of '69

She just took sick and died

And I cried for mama everyday

You know I cried

I cried for my mama
