He said, "I want a change", he said, "I want a fresh start"
Someday we want a house, a family and a backyard
I said, it's all about the journey, still he can't wait
I'll keep on singing honey waiting for my big break

My mama said be careful where you lay your head, where you lay your head
'Cause her mama said be careful where you lay your head, where you lay your head

Now I'm looking for a place inside the city
I haven't told my mom and dad he's coming with me
But I'm in love and it's for real I know
I'm taking chances, throwing caution out the window

My mama said be careful where you lay your head, where you lay your head
'Cause her mama said be careful where you lay your head, where you lay your head

Love taught me everything I know, everything I know
Sometimes you keep it near, sometimes you let go

My mama said be careful where you lay your head, where you lay your head
Let me tell you why
'Cause her mama said be careful where you lay your head, where you lay your head
Where you lay your head
