When I was a young boy my mama would say
Son, you aint always gonna get your way
Times will be good, times will be bad
You aint always gonna get a winning hand
Son, she always said, you gotta stand tall
Even when it looks like youll take a fall
Life is short and sometimes sweet
Get out of the kitchen if you cant take the heat
(pre-chorus)
Everything she said was true
My mama never was a fool
Gotta live your life by the golden rule
(chorus)
I guess its true what they say
Really true what they say
I guess what mama said was true
Cant have your cake and eat it too, babe
I never doubted any word my
Mutha said
With all the sinnin runnin round my head
(pre-chorus)(pre-chorus)(chorus)
