Things My Mama Says

Don't ya drive too fast

Those cops hide on the side roads

Pack an extra coat, say you won't be cold, but I know

You get your stubborn heart from me

Turn off your phone sometimes

'Cause that thing will drive ya crazy

And don't forget your faith

Even if it's failing lately

I know I should be listening, but

I'm still doing things

That my mama says I shouldn't

She's usually right, but right now

That ain't the way it's looking

Says not to worry 'bout her

But I don't know how I wouldn't

I'm still doing things my mama says I shouldn't

Don't ya take that first flight home

Just 'cause you know I miss you

Don't change your plans for me

No matter how bad you want to

Don't carry all the weight

It's gonna be okay

You'd think I'd listen more these days, but

I'm still doing things

That my mama says I shouldn't

She's usually right, but right now, that ain't the way it's looking

Says not to worry 'bout her

But I don't know how I wouldn't

Yeah, I'm still doing things my mama says I shouldn't

I shouldn't

She says, "Let the doctors do their work, honey, I'm in good hands

And don't lose no sleep over it"

But right now, it's 3 a.m.

And I'm still doing things

That my mama says I shouldn't

She's usually right, but right now

That ain't the way it's looking

Says not to worry 'bout her

But I don't know how I wouldn't

I'm still doing things my mama says I shouldn't

Yeah, I'm still doing things my mama says I shouldn't
