There were days when I thought I could do no wrong
I dug holes built jumps in the neighbor's yard
Threw rocks next door at the vacant barn
Those old windows, they were worth a lot

There's certain times I'm like hey oh, hey oh
But you sit me down like ‘no way, no no
You say keep it simple today oh, we-oh
I've come to learn that's the way oh, way oh

So listen to your mama, even if you're always right
She'll help you with your problems, and show you everything's alright

So we packed up the car, hit a one-way road
Straight up to the woods and the wild unknown
There were signs on my face the objection showed
I didn't want to know, it was best to go

There's certain times I'm like hey oh, hey oh
But you sit me down like ‘no way, no no
You say keep it simple today oh, we-oh
I've come to learn that's the way oh, way oh

So listen to your mama, even if you're always right
She'll help you with your problems, and show you everything's alright

So listen to your mama, even if you're always right
She'll help you with your problems, and show you everything's alright
