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 Elan I Did What I Thought I Just Had to Do Chorus: 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 Chorus 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 Chorus Man Loves Woman Sometimes 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
