MAMA

By Tori Sparks

Oh
It’s a winding road
Ain’t no straight and narrow
Path I’m walking alone

Beset
On every side
By temptation
Offering me a ride

And don’t he look good
With his smile
But I know better
Child

I got to keep my foot out of my mouth
Got to keep the Devil out of my house
Got to make sure when I go down south
I can still find my way back home

I got to try to chin up when the rain comes down
Got to look for higher ground
Got to know that I will be found
Whenever I’m lost

Because honey Mama
Didn’t raise no weak-willed woman

All
Of my days
Been marked by trouble
In a thousand ways

I don’t
Go seeking its shame
It just seems to be drawn to me
Like black flies to a flame

And I can hear
Their sickening buzzing
But I plug my ears
Because

I got to keep my foot out of my mouth
Got to keep the Devil out of my house
Got to make sure when I go down south
I can still find my way back home

I got to try to chin up when the rain comes down
Got to look for higher ground
Got to know that I will be found
Whenever I’m lost

Because honey Mama
Didn’t raise no weak-willed woman

Oh
When that mean old wind come calling
I know
Soon that bitter fruit will be falling

I got to keep my foot out of my mouth
Got to keep the Devil out of my house
Got to make sure when I go down south
I can still find my way back home

I got to try to chin up when the rain comes down
Got to look for higher ground
Got to know that I will be found
Whenever I’m lost

Because honey Mama
Didn’t raise no weak-willed woman
Didn’t raise no weak-willed woman
Didn’t raise no weak-willed woman

I got to keep the Devil
Out of my house
I got to keep him
Out
