Make Your Mama Proud

I can still recall a time you were not so far behind

You were only 15 and you still had piece of mind

Now you're pushing 31, duty calls you come and run

When will this be over? When, when will you be gone?

I'll be your man child to be tough

Once is never quite enough

Giving twenty minutes in between

If you know what I mean

You gotta give if you wanna get

Never let 'em see you sweat

You may cry and you may bleed

But only if the punch is from me

Why do you back down in the face of a fist fight?

I kick myself for caring about you

You may one day go the distance, you might come around

If you be yourself, well you can make your mama proud

When you get the energy you can place a call to me

My number's in the phone book and I'm not too hard to find

I still live in the same old place, I still got that same old face

I can give you more than twenty minutes of my time

I'll be your man child to be tough

Once is never quite enough

Giving twenty minutes in between

Why do you back down in the face of a fist fight?

I kick myself for caring about you

You may one day go the distance, you might come around

If you be yourself, well you can make your mama proud

If you be yourself, well you can make your mama proud

If you be yourself, well you can make your mama proud
