Lay back on Sunday
Back to work Monday
Round and round again

It kinda seems funny
All just for money
Where does it start and where does it end?


And Mama is always on the run and she's tired
I can tell

Mama's always on the run
And it seems her work is never done
And it's hard

Hard as hell
Mama's always on the run
And she's tired


She says it's gonna be alright
Another day and one more night

And she says she's gonna be home soon
And it won't be long
It won't be long


And all I can say is that I'd rather you here today
If I had my way you'd be here today

All that I know
I'd rather you never go
If I had it my way

That's all I know

And Mama is always on the run and she's tired

I can tell
Mama's always on the run
And it seems her work is never done

And it's hard
Hard as hell
Mama's always on the run

And she's tired

She says it's gonna be alright

Another day and one more night
And she says she's gonna be home soon
And it won't be long

It won't be long

She says it's gonna be alright

Another day and one more night
And she says she's gonna be home soon
And it won't be long

It won't be long

Mama's always on the run and she's tired

I can tell
Mama's always on the run
And it seems her work is never done

And it's hard
Hard as hell
Mama's always on the run

(verse 2x)

She says it's gonna be alright

Another day and one more night
And she says she's gonna be home soon
And it won't be long

It won't be long

Won't be long

Won't be long
