Mama Told Me

Mama taught me to stand alone
She said this good heart couldn't be no man's home
But now I don't know
Mama he's calling me and I gotta go
Would you tell me just a thing or two
Ain't A place my soul's gunna go if it ain't going with you
The road is long
I know you're strong
You'll have me
If I have you
And that's all we need
To make the life we cannot wait to wake up to
He said lay your head on my shoulder tell you everything I know
Would you come meet my family up in Chicago
The light of the moon is what gets you through the night
In your sweet arms I call home
Oh I've been waiting all too long
Oh I'm not waiting any longer oh na
Mama told me to stay
I was all tangled in tears
Now you tell me til the river ran dry
If there's no such thing as time good
Cuz I don't know that guy
But the voice of the land
Takes my hand
Leads me straight back to you
Yeah the voice of the land
It takes my hand and it leads me straight back to you
Yeah that's all I got mama
