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 dwn

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 tha 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



But I’m always on the run
