What would your mama say if she knew ya went out this way?
What would your mama do if she had to be right here with you?
Would ya want her to see, oh, what it means to be -
Walking in your shoes with everything to lose?
I know ya did what ya thought ya had to do -
But is it what she would’ve wanted for you?
Oh, oh, there’s only so much you can hide
Oh, oh, and, man, ya can’t hide your pride
It’s out there for all to see, oh, what it means to be -
Walking in your shoes with everything to lose?
I know ya did what ya thought ya had to do -
But is it what she would’ve wanted for you?
If she knew everything ya had to do -
Is it what she would’ve wanted for you?
What would your mama say if she knew ya went out this way?
What would your mama do if she had to be right here with you?
Would ya want her to see, oh, what it means to be -
Walking in your shoes with everything to lose?
I know ya did what ya thought ya had to do -
But is it what she would’ve wanted for you?
If she knew everything ya had to do -
Is it what she would’ve wanted for you?
