Mama Told Me Lyrics

Mama taught me to stand alone

She said this good heart could be no man's home

But now I don't know

Mama he's calling me and I gotta go

Would you tell me just a thing or two

And a place my soul's gunna go if it ain't going with you

The road is long

I know you're strong

You'll have me

If I have you

And that's all we need

To make the life we cannot wait to wake up to

He said

Lay your head on my shoulder tell you everything I know

Would you come meet my family up in Chicago?

The light of the moon is what gets you through the night

In your sweet arms I call home

Oh I've been waiting all too long

Oh I'm not waiting any longer oh na

Mama told me to stay

I was all tangled in tears

Now you tell me til the river ran dry

If there's no such thing as time good

Cuz I don't know that guy

But the voice of the land

Takes my hand

Leads me straight back to you (Mama told me to stay)

Yeah the voice of the land

It takes my hand and it leads me straight back to you

Yeah that's all I got mama
