Mama Says Once You Drive Up A Mountain lyrics

Everything i ever learnt, that gets me through the worst
i learnt, from my mama`s Knee
anytime i`m turned around, i turn to mama first
and you`d be wise to memorize what mama says to me

now mama aint been wrong yet, and i`m living proof
take that for what it`s worth! yeah hahaha

mama says...dont use a toaster while standing in the shower
now who can argue with that!
mama says...dont hold your breath for longer than an hour
the woman knows where it`s at

chorus
and mama says it doesnt matter...if you`re a king or you`re a clown
once you drive up a mountian you can`t back down!
(rens friends)
you can`t back down ren!
now ren you`ve not had the pleasure of meetin` my mama
but these boys over here have now
come on and help me out here fellas

mama says...dont drink hot coffee lying down in bed
dont even give it a thought! it`s a mess!
mama says...never eat anything that`s bigger than your head
she a wiz or what?

and mama says it doesnt matter...if you`re a king or you`re a clown
once you drive up a mountain you can`t back down!
whoa once you srive up a mountain you can`t back down!

now mama makes a lot of sence if you know how to listen
she is clear, and concise (she`s concise!)
daddy says well i love her son but she`s got marbles missing
but i say hey! its free advice! and what do you expect at that price?

mama says...what you believe in is all you really own
and i believe that she`s right
mama says...if you`ve got doubts well then boy you`re not alone
just means your ready to fight!

and mama says it doesnt matter if you`re a king or you`re a clown
once you drive up a mountain you cant back down!

you can turn up the heat!
you can turn up the road!
you can carry a beat!
you can carry a load!!
you can throw a fit!
you can throw a punch!
you can bring up a child!
you can bring up your lunch...
(aww man! did your mama say that?)

1, 2, 3!

and mama says it doesnt matter
if you drive a hard bargain or drive around town!
once you drive up a mountain you cant back down!
once you drive up a mountain you cant back down!
(music ends)

(music starts up again)
i thought of one more thing

now mama says...
dont buy your chandelier unless you`ve got a ceiling
now i dont know what thats about...
mama says...dont chew on tinfoil unless you like that feeling...
somehow she figured that out!

and mama says it doesnt matter if you`re a king or you`re a clown
once you drive up a mountain
remember boy everyone`s counting on you!
once you drive up a mountain you cant back down...!

now thats my mama!
