Mama Was Right
Seven forty-five on a Tuesday morning
The newsman on the radio is calling
Stuck in the traffic and the light turns red
Their telling how the country is doing better again
Never made any difference to you anyway
Trying to get by on minimum wage
Dropped off the kids on your way to work
Nobody's waiting when you get back home
Mama used to tell you
Never fall for the bad guys
They leave nothing but trouble behind
They might look good
And never lose in a bar fight
And break your heart time after time
You dream about your life turning around
Break out of the cycle that keeps good women down
Working for the boss man you never met
Hoping this time you'll make the rent
Got two boys who are growing up fast
Their father left you for ten years younger at least
Never thought life was easy, you ain't no fool
But wonder how you're gonna pay for their school
The newsman on the radio is calling
Stuck in the traffic and the light turns red
Their telling how the country is doing better again
Never made any difference to you anyway
Trying to get by on minimum wage
Dropped off the kids on your way to work
Nobody's waiting when you get back home
Mama used to tell you
Never fall for the bad guys
They leave nothing but trouble behind
They might look good
And never lose in a bar fight
And break your heart time after time
You dream about your life turning around
Break out of the cycle that keeps good women down
Working for the boss man you never met
Hoping this time you'll make the rent
Got two boys who are growing up fast
Their father left you for ten years younger at least
Never thought life was easy, you ain't no fool
But wonder how you're gonna pay for their school
