Call Your Mama

G                                 
Take one last look in that rear 
   C  D    G
view on your way
                C                  
Outta that stick around town you're
                D
 about to leave behind
    G
And go get lost to find yourself
      C  D  G             C
Don't be afraid to go and have 
                 G           D
yourself the craziest of times
Em            D
Make some new friends
C                       D
Be someone you've never been
C                 D
But every now and then...


[Chorus]
            G
Call your mama
Sit and listen to her small town 
 D
drama
And get you all caught up on all 
     C
your sisters and your brothers
     C
Boy, listen to your mother
C                             
'Cause you ain't ever gonna get 
  D
another
                             G
Someone you get to call your mama, 
yeah
