Some time as a much older man
I will sit down and put on this song
It just might make me cry
Or at the very least a tear in my eye
I can't take all these years of my life
To be wild down into a thought
That only appears to the year
I made memories perfectly clear
Mama, mama
Mama, mama
I just wanna be making my mind
Keep from changing my mind not to change
'Cause I'm greedy as the sea
And that's how it always will be
I'll be somebody now, and I'll be somebody then
And I'll be all of you all in between
And then I'll be ready to leave
When the whole world is taken with me, oh-oh
Mama, mama
Mama, mama
Mama, mama
Mama, mama
'Cause there's so many days in a year
And there's so many years in my head
So I think about when I'll be dead
And how those very last moments get spent
And if I think about you, is that something you think you'd accept?
Some time as a much older man
I will sit down and put on this song
It just might make me cry
Or at the very least a tear in my eye
