You don't know what it's about, but you go out and try
|
You're young and your wings have just feathered
|
And you're dying to fly
|
Dreaming is easy, but living is hard I'm afraid
|
I come from South Georgia
|
And I feel like I walked all the way
|
|
How much does it cost to Valdosta
|
How much for just a part of the way
|
Lord I'm tired and I'm hungry
|
And I ain't got much money
|
What would my mama say
|
|
Sometimes the notion comes,
|
One wants to just run away
|
From all that he's bothered by
|
Little things, day after day
|
Sometimes the rain is cold
|
Sometimes the sun shines down
|
Life's just a ball game that can't be played all in one town
|
|
How much does it cost to Valdosta
|
How much for just a part of the way
|
Lord I'm tired and I'm hungry
|
And I ain't got much money
|
What would my mama say
|
|
How much does it cost to Valdosta
|
How much for just a part of the way
|
Lord I'm tired and I'm hungry
|
And I ain't got much money
|
What would my mama say
|
What would my mama say
|

WHAT WOULD MY MAMA SAY
