“Mama,” Ozzy’s pet name for Sharon Osbourne, the mother of his children as well as his wife and manager, was the inspiration behind this song’s title—at the end of each tour, he tells her, “Mama, I’m coming home!” The song and its title were handed to Motörhead’s Lemmy Kilmister who wrote the song about missing home and returning, despite the dark history one has had there.

Mama, I'm Coming Home lyrics

Times have changed and times are strange
Here I come, but I ain't the same
Mama, I'm comin' home
Times gone by seems to be
You could have been a better friend to me
Mama, I'm comin' home
You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized, yeah
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes
You made me cry, you told me lies
But I can't stand to say goodbye
Mama, I'm comin' home
I could be right, I could be wrong
It hurts so bad, it's been so long
Mama, I'm comin' home
Selfish love, yeah, we're both alone
The ride before the fall, yeah
But I'm gonna take this heart of stone
I just got to have it all
I've seen your face a hundred times
Every day we've been apart
I don't care about the sunshine, yeah
'Cause, mama, mama, I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized, yeah
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes
I've seen your face a thousand times
Every day we've been apart
I don't care about the sunshine, yeah
'Cause, mama, mama, I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
