What Would My Mama Say
Roger Miller

You don't know what it's about, but you go out and try

You're young and your wings have just feathered

And you're dying to fly

Dreaming is easy, but living is hard I'm afraid

I come from South Georgia

And I feel like I walked all the way


How much does it cost to Valdosta

How much for just a part of the way

Lord I'm tired and I'm hungry

And I ain't got much money

What would my mama say


Sometimes the notion comes,

One wants to just run away

From all that he's bothered by

Little things, day after day

Sometimes the rain is cold

Sometimes the sun shines down

Life's just a ball game that can't be played all in one town


How much does it cost to Valdosta

How much for just a part of the way

Lord I'm tired and I'm hungry

And I ain't got much money

What would my mama say


How much does it cost to Valdosta

How much for just a part of the way

Lord I'm tired and I'm hungry

And I ain't got much money

What would my mama say

What would my mama say
