It's not just blood tying our world together,
it's only in our heads that we distinguish between friend and stranger
Hey mama,
you said my boys would be your boys no matter what
Hey mama,
even though we didn't have a lot, you found room for more
With our souls on fire
and the want for more
With life right behind us,
chasing who we are
When everything ended up with too much debt
I could always bring my boys home with me, 'cause
It's not just blood tying our world together,
it's only in our heads that we distinguish between friend and stranger
Hey mama,
you said my boys would be your boys no matter what
Hey mama,
even though we didn't have a lot, you found room for more
I lost my mind
too close to the ledge
but you were stubborn in your faith;
kept me on my plan
When everything finally became too much
it was you who gave me something to fight for
It's not just blood tying our world together,
it's only in our heads that we distinguish between friend and stranger
Hey mama,
you said my boys would be your boys no matter what
Hey mama,
even though we didn't have a lot, you found room
When the life we lead became too hectic
we always had someone to go back home to
Hey mama x4
Hey mama,
you said my boys would be your boys no matter what
Hey mama,
even though we didn't have a lot, you found room for more
Hey mama,
you said my boys would be your boys no matter what
Hey mama,
even though we didn't have a lot, you found room for more
Hey mama x4
