My mama said, that your life is a gift
And my mama said, 'There's much weight you will lift'
And my mama said, 'Leave those bad boys alone'
And my mama said, 'Be home before the dawn'

And my mama said, 'You can be rich or poor'
But my mama said, 'You can be big or small'

But I'm always on the run
But I'm always on the run

My mama said that it's good to be fruitful
But my mama said, 'Don't take more than a mouthful'
And my mama said that it's good to be natural
And my mama said that it's good to be factual

But I'm always on the run
But I'm always on the run

Swear

My mama said, 'Baby don't ride that crazy horse'
And my mama said, 'You must push with much force'
And my mama said, 'Go get all that you're after'
And my mama said that love's all that matters

But I'm always on the run
But I'm always on the run
But I'm always on the run
But I'm always on the run

Yeah
