Lay back on Sunday
Back to work Monday
Round and round again
It kinda seems funny
All just for money
Where does it start and where does it end?
And Mama is always on the run and she's tired
I can tell
Mama's always on the run
And it seems her work is never done
And it's hard
Hard as hell
Mama's always on the run
And she's tired
She says it's gonna be alright
Another day and one more night
And she says she's gonna be home soon
And it won't be long
It won't be long
And all I can say is that I'd rather you here today
If I had my way you'd be here today
All that I know
I'd rather you never go
If I had it my way
That's all I know
And Mama is always on the run and she's tired
I can tell
Mama's always on the run
And it seems her work is never done
And it's hard
Hard as hell
Mama's always on the run
And she's tired
She says it's gonna be alright
Another day and one more night
And she says she's gonna be home soon
And it won't be long
It won't be long
She says it's gonna be alright
Another day and one more night
And she says she's gonna be home soon
And it won't be long
It won't be long
Mama's always on the run and she's tired
I can tell
Mama's always on the run
And it seems her work is never done
And it's hard
Hard as hell
Mama's always on the run
(verse 2x)
She says it's gonna be alright
Another day and one more night
And she says she's gonna be home soon
And it won't be long
It won't be long
Won't be long
Won't be long
