My Momma Had Soul

When I was just a boy I was never told

Now son don't you listen

To that Rock and Roll

'Cause I was brought up by my Momma

And we were poor as dirt

And the music made us feel better

Everytime our stomachs hurt.

My Momma had soul

My Momma had soul

We may've not had a lot to eat

In the house

But we always had some music

That was playing real loud

My Momma had soul

My Momma had soul

When things were going bad

And the house got dark

Me and Momma'd sit on a bench

Out in the park

We'd hear the jukebox playing

In the corner bar

And the music made us dance and

Sing underneath the summer stars.

You know my Momma got older as

The years went along

But she never got so old

She couldn't dance

To a Rock and Roll song
