I once knew this place called home Saint-Etienne 631 miles from home Good times, bad times, my friend were few Sometimes, I just didn’t know what to do So I cut all the ties that would fence me in And I just didn’t want my life to end In Saint-Etienne Saint-Etienne, I don’t want to go back again Saint-Etienne, I don’t want to go back again To Saint-Etienne It’s painful, don’t want to think about i It hurts me deep inside The memories I try to forget This feeling I just can’ hide So, I cut all the ties that would fence me in And I just didn’t want my life to end In Saint-Etienne Saint-Etienne, I don’t want to go back again Saint-Etienne, I don’t want to go back again To Saint-Etienne Mama prayed,( Mama prayed), she saw my deep frustrations No delay (No delay ) God stepped to my situation I looked in her eyes, Mama starts to cry She knew it was time for me to say good bye
