My mama said That your life is a gift And my mama said There's much weight you will lift And my mama said Leave those bad boys alone And my mama said Be home before the dawn And my mama said You can be rich or poor But my mama said You can be big or small
But I'm always on the run
My mama said That it's good to be fruitful But my mama said Don't take more than a mouthful And my mama said That it's good to be natural And my mama said That it's good to be factual
But I'm always on the run
My mama said Baby don't ride that crazy horse And my mama said You must push with much force And my mama said Go get all that you're after And my mama said That love's all that matters
