Little Bit of Mama

Off of the concrete on to the dirt roads down to Martha’s place

We love to eat and she likes to cook you can see it on her face

You’re not looking if you don’t see where the love is coming from

There’s a little bit of mama there for boys who don’t have one

She’ll look past your eyes and into your heart if you let down your guard

She’s a little soft on wayward types who like their livin’ hard

She wears a cotton apron full of flour faded from the sun

She’s a little bit of mama for boys who don’t have one

Like Mama she’ll tell you when you’re headed down the wrong path

And she’ll give you all the free advice you don’t even have to ask

Stay on the sunny side and say your prayers are things you’ll hear her say

She’ll make you wash behind your ears then send you on your way

If you’re up at dawn she’ll know you played all night we live on the run

She’s a little bit of mama for boys who don’t have one

You give her love get back on the bus cause there’s shows to be done

She’s a little bit of mama for boys who don’t have one
