Mama - Lyrics

Intro: 8 measures

VERSE 1
Mama help me now I’ve worked so hard for this day
That horse is part of me Oh how we’ve worked and we’ve played.
They say were not going to win. Second place at the best
Oh mama help me I feel like giving in to the rest… and she said

CHORUS
Let me give you something to live on, you gotta work through the bad to get to the good
Life’s like suckin on a lemon drop
Good love takes some time and learning and this ole world just keeps on a turning
So don’t give up more than gold is it’s worth

VERSE 2
Make it like it used to be when I was young and wild and free
Oh mama how I thought for sure he was the one
But now I’m not so sure. Things don’t go that smooth anymore
Oh mama help me I feel like just giving up

CHORUS
Let me give you something to live on, you gotta work through the bad to get to the good
Life’s like suckin on a lemon drop
Good love takes some time and learning and this ole world just keeps on a turning
So don’t give up more than gold is it’s worth

VERSE 3
In the hospital bed she lies her hair is silver and wizened eyes
You’ve been with me through it all through the big and the small
You never gave up on me kept pushing me right on through
oh mama don’t leave me now I don’t know what I’ll do

CHORUS
Let me give you something to live on, you gotta work through the bad to get to the good
Life’s like suckin on a lemon drop
Good love takes some time and learning and this ole world just keeps on a turning
So don’t give up more than gold is it’s worth
