You Mama, You

You Mama, You

G
When I was young and pushed around
C
And beaten up and beaten down
G                           D
Who'd I run to mama tell me who
G
And as I grew to be a man
C
And all the world held such élan
G                                  
I did what I thought I just had to 
D
do

C                           G
It was you mama you, it was you all 
along
It was you I ran away from I was 
D
wrong

G
And if I could I'd change my life
C
I swear to God I'd cut it out with a
 knife
           G              D       
And with a glue stick I'd reapply 
        G
it in a song

Continue the same chunking pattern
And laid back Kerouac never had no 
heart attack
Drinking and thinking about the 
place 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

F   C     G
Man loves woman
F      C     G
Mother loves child
F           C            G
Sometimes I call my lady mama
   F             C          G
So I can feel at home for a while
   F             C          G
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 the Mickey D's American 
flag and it's unfurled

Man loves woman sometimes
Mother loves child
Sometimes I call my lady mama
So I can feel at home for awhile
So I can feel at home for awhile
