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
