What Mama's Do
Little Johnny ran home to his mama
He fell off his bike and he nearly bit his tongue into
That's just what boys do
He cried for a minute, she held him and kissed him
He fell asleep in her arms, and she just let him stay
That's what mamas do
He didn't know in that moment, how much he'd miss her when she's gone
A few years later he's locked in his bedroom
His girlfriend at school had just broken his heart into
Sometimes that's what girls do
He cried for a minute, she held him and kissed him
He poured out his heart for a while and she just listened
That's what mamas do
He didn't know in that moment, how much he'd miss her when she's gone
As Johnny got older his heart grew much colder
Drinking and smoking and playing was all he was into
Sometimes that's what boys do
She's come to visit and hold him and kiss him
Remind him that this wasn't how life had to be
That's what mama's do
He didn't know in that moment, how much he'd miss her when she's gone
Little Johnny ran home to his mama
This time she ain't gonna make it and it breaks his heart into
All he put her through
She was so glad to see him she held him and kissed him
She told him he can be anything he wants to
That's just what mamas do
He finally knew in that moment, how much he'd miss her when she's gone
Oh, he finally knew in that moment, how much he'd miss her when she's gone
Little Johnny loves his mama
He fell off his bike and he nearly bit his tongue into
That's just what boys do
He cried for a minute, she held him and kissed him
He fell asleep in her arms, and she just let him stay
That's what mamas do
He didn't know in that moment, how much he'd miss her when she's gone
A few years later he's locked in his bedroom
His girlfriend at school had just broken his heart into
Sometimes that's what girls do
He cried for a minute, she held him and kissed him
He poured out his heart for a while and she just listened
That's what mamas do
He didn't know in that moment, how much he'd miss her when she's gone
As Johnny got older his heart grew much colder
Drinking and smoking and playing was all he was into
Sometimes that's what boys do
She's come to visit and hold him and kiss him
Remind him that this wasn't how life had to be
That's what mama's do
He didn't know in that moment, how much he'd miss her when she's gone
Little Johnny ran home to his mama
This time she ain't gonna make it and it breaks his heart into
All he put her through
She was so glad to see him she held him and kissed him
She told him he can be anything he wants to
That's just what mamas do
He finally knew in that moment, how much he'd miss her when she's gone
Oh, he finally knew in that moment, how much he'd miss her when she's gone
Little Johnny loves his mama
