Make Your Mama Proud

Song for all mamas out there

I don't have a PhD, I'm a simple man but if you ask me
About my philosophy, all I'd have to tell ya
Is I know wrong from right, and, it's mostly black and white
But it does get gray sometimes that's when I remember

My daddy said, "Boy when you've got to choose
Which road to take all you've got to do is"

Make your mama proud and let your mama know
You'd be nowhere without her prayers and faith and hope
Make your mama smile and know without a doubt
That everything works out when you make your mama proud

Well, there's a million self-help books, full of clever pop-psych hooks
I don't give them a second look, you know they just confuse me
Dr. Phil, Dr. Ruth, they're okay but to tell the truth
Well, I think my daddy's view is a lot less complicated

'Cause when you gotta problem y'all, you've gotta face it
But you can make this world a better place if you

You make your mama proud and let your mama know
You'd be nowhere without her prayers and faith and hope
Make your mama smile and know without a doubt
That everything works out when you make your mama proud

I guess, Moses must have run out of tablet
'Cause he left out the 11th commandment, yeah

Daddy said, "Boy when you've got to choose
Which road to take all you've got to do is"

Make your mama proud, yeah, let your mama know
That you'd be nowhere without her prayers and faith and hope
Make your mama smile, and you know without a doubt
That everything works out when you make your mama proud

Yeah, you're gonna make your mama proud
You make your mama proud
Yeah, to let your mama know
