Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, 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
[Verse 2]
(But I'm always on the run) Always on the run
(But I'm always on the run)
[Verse 3]
Oh, 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
[Verse 4]
(But I'm always on the run) Always on the run
(But I'm always on the run) Always
Slash
[Verse 5]
And 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
[Verse 6]
(But I'm always on the run) But I'm always on the run
(But I'm always on the run) Always on the run
(But I'm always on the run) Always on the run
(But I'm always on the run) Always on the run
[Verse 7]
Hmm, what say mama, you want it?
Hmm, right now? Got to hold on
Yeah
