I sit on the porch and stare at the road When we’d drive to the forest before we got old Sang the songs on the radio on top of our lungs Eating blue lollipops, laughing at the stains on our tongues Mama, mama Don’t know where it ended, But there were always you mama, mama Told me “I’ll always hold you My baby blue” Cruising down the old 55 Seeing deers and moose pointing with exited eyes At the cows running loose You wanted to show us all the wonders of the world Your golden hair in the sun And the songs of the birds Mama, mama I saw it clearly, your compassionate heart Mama, mama Loving us all right from the start Visiting lakes and picking mushrooms in the woods By the side of the water where our campfire stood Telling scary stories til we’d be scared to be out Driving us home, saying our prayers for the night Mama, mama A poetic folklorist in sunglasses Mama, mama A storytelling wife Living on as she passes

Mama
I sit on the porch and stare at the road When we’d drive to the forest before we got old Sang the songs on the radio on top of our lungs Eating blue lollipops, laughing at the stains on our tongues Mama, mama Don’t know where it ended, But there were always you mama, mama Told me “I’ll always hold you My baby blue” Cruising down the old 55 Seeing deers and moose pointing with exited eyes At the cows running loose You wanted to show us all the wonders of the world Your golden hair in the sun And the songs of the birds Mama, mama I saw it clearly, your compassionate heart Mama, mama Loving us all right from the start Visiting lakes and picking mushrooms in the woods By the side of the water where our campfire stood Telling scary stories til we’d be scared to be out Driving us home, saying our prayers for the night Mama, mama A poetic folklorist in sunglasses Mama, mama A storytelling wife Living on as she passes
