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,
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,

Always on the run,
But I'm always on the run.


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,
Always on the run,
But I'm always on the run ( on the run )


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

But I'm always on the run.

Hmm, what say mama, you want it

Hmm, right now, got to hold on, yeah !.
