lyrics

Mama Said

Found myself in the middle
I’ve worked my way out of plenty of things like this before
I tried to put myself into pockets
I tried to make myself of use
the dream that you were needed to hold that final corner of the house together
is the dream of me as a family man
as a great family man

Out of the kitchen
out of the living room and
out of the house
out of the neighborhood
out of the city and
out onto the road

We grew up at a similar pace but I've backtracked once or twice
you should give it a try
it’s like my mama used to say
I never had the luxury of a community, of a clear, honest culture
I’ve tried tripping myself by own bootstraps
I always end up landing at your doorstep

Out on the highway
out of the county and
out of the state
out of the country
out of the hemisphere
out of this world

The rails are cold and lead
ride it out, my mama said
