You Mama You Lyrics - Jude

When I was young and pushed around 

And beaten up and beaten down 

Who'd I run to mama tell me who 

And as I grew to be a man 

And all the world held such ?lan 

I did what I thought I just had to do 

It was you mama you, it was you all along 

It was you I ran away from I was wrong 

And if I could I'd change my life 

I swear to God I'd cut it out with a knife 

And with a glue stick I'd reapply it in a song 

And laid back Kerouac never had no heart attack 

Drinking and thinking about the place that he ran back to 

The Moloch is an old man the Moloch is a love-lack 

Bending for a quick snack remembering his friend Jack 

Mama sometimes and I remember you 

It was you mama you, it was you all along 

It was you I ran away from I was wrong 

And if I could I'd change my life 

I swear to God I'd cut it out with a knife 

And with a glue stick I'd reapply it in a song 

Man loves woman 

Mother loves child 

Sometimes I call my lady mama 

So I can feel at home for a while 

So I can feel at home for a while 

Looking around at all the Mellencamp towns 

The excuses and the nooses where the coffee grounds 

I found places and traces of a storybook world 

And I went out there for a ride 

On the misty coast but the holy host 

Is under a Mickey D's American flag and it's unfurled 

It was you mama you, it was you all along 

It was you I ran away from I was wrong 

And if I could I'd change my life 

I swear to God I'd cut it out with a knife 

And with a glue stick I'd reapply it in a song 

Man loves woman 

Mother loves child 

Sometimes I call my lady mama 

So I can feel at home for a while 

So I can feel at home for a while
