When I was young and pushed around And beaten up and beaten down Who'd I run to mama tell me who And as I grew to be a man And all the world held such elan I did what I thought I just had to do CHORUS: It was you mama you, it was you all along It was you I ran away from I was wrong And if I could I'd change my life I swear to God I'd cut it out with a knife And with a glue stick I'd reapply it in a song And laid back Kerouac never had no heart attack Drinking and thinking about the place that he ran back to The moloch is an old man the moloch is a love-lack Bending for a quick snack remembering his friend Jack Mama sometimes and I remember you CHORUS Man loves woman Mother loves child Sometimes I call my lady mama So I can feel at home for a while So I can feel at home for a while Looking around at all the Mellencamp towns The excuses and the nooses where the coffee grounds I found places and traces of a storybook world And I went out there for a ride On the misty coast but the holy host Is under a Mickey D's American flag and it's unfurled CHORUS Man loves woman sometimes Mother loves child Sometimes I call my lady mama So I can feel at home for a while So I can feel at home for a while |
