Mama

My mama always told me "Son, you'd best go easy down that road" And she said she was sorry For all the times she couldn't save my soul Shoulda listened to her words a little more Before I packed up and I walked right out that door Daddy always told me "Son, you'd better love the best you can" And "Don't look back and be sorry These moments won't be comin' 'round again" But I feel like I could conquer the whole world When I look up and see those three little girls But I get lost, I can't find my way All my pieces glued together for the world to see Mistakes I've made, consumed by some Till there's nothing left of me when all is said and done Now a preacher man once told me "Son, I'm not so sure you can be saved" And he said, "Life is full of choices And He sees all the bad ones that you've made" And I said "Yeah, you're right, I'll probably go to Hell But goddamn all the stories I can tell" 'Cause I'm so lost, I can't find my way All my pieces glued together for the world to see Mistakes I've made, consumed by some Till there's nothing left of me when all is said and done So my mama always told me "Son, you'd best go easy down that road" --- Mama - Aaron Lewis
