lyrics
Mama left home in 86' picked up a gun and learned to kick
oh how she wanted to fly til' Reagan put that spit in her eye.
Straightened her back, found her name, went on down the easy way
bought an Oldsmobile for her caravan
and settled on down with her man.
So if you wanna learn to fly
you better hold your wits close by, cuz' you never know where that current's gonna blow you next.
And if you find yourself a home
but your stoned, cold, and alone,
better carry on with that breeze that's blowin' by.
Well my mothers mother she, was a jubilant lady
who's biggest joy was the joy in everyone's hearts.
No matter how big or how small she had love for one and all,
and she gave back to the world every day
in every little way
So if you wanna make sense of time
better learn to count the rhymes to your favorite song your favorite poem too,
and if you wanna love the world
you better give the hearts a turn
of the evil, downtrodden, and happy all the same.
And my sister oh my sister she found herself a mister
broken as a vacant as lonesome as a vagabond,
and the good she does for him was passed down from our kin,
and I wrote this song to thank them for that grace.
So all you sons and daughters you'd do well to stay true to mother
and the lovin' ways that she raised,
and do best to keep in mind your maternal caring side
because that's all your gonna need to live a happy life.
