Mama Told Me Lyrics

Mama told me you never look back on what you can't change

Those are just wasted days you got here anyway

Mama told me never turn your back on your family

Yeah that's a lonely scene without the ones you need

Mama told me you'll turn out like the company you keep

So pick 'em carefully make sure you're thick as thieves

Mama said always make sure that your word is strong as steel

Say grace at every meal yeah it takes time to heal

And then whatever else you do

When I'm not there with you

She said

If ain't broke don't fix it

If it ain't yours don't miss it

If she ain't nice don't kiss her

And hold your head up high

If it gets hard get smarter

When it's too far aim farther

You're strong and stubborn like your father

And I know you'll be alright

You'll be alright

When you have kids it's like your hearts beating outside your chest and

You just want to protect them, they'll trip you have to let 'em

You're gonna fall down plenty every dog will have its day

You're gonna make mistakes you'll bend but you won't break

And when you start to feel like you can't do anything right

Make hay while that sun shines and count those stars at night

So now whatever else you do

Since I'm not there with you

If ain't broke don't fix it

If it ain't yours don't miss it

If she ain't nice don't kiss her

And hold your head up high

If it gets hard get smarter

When it's too far aim farther

You're strong and stubborn like your father

And I know you'll be alright

I know I'll remember all my days

What you told me every time you'd say

Listen son we don't live forever

And right now we have this time together

And through these words I'll never go away

Mama told me you never look back on what you can't change

Those are just wasted days you got here anyway

Mama told me never turn your back on your family

She said

If ain't broke don't fix it

If it ain't yours don't miss it

If she ain't nice don't kiss her

And hold your head up high

If it gets hard get smarter

When it's too far aim farther

You're strong and stubborn like your father

And I know you'll be alright

That's what mama told me

What mama told me

Mama told me never look back on what you can't change

Those are just wasted days
