[Verse 1]
There were days when I thought I could do no wrong
I dug holes, built jumps in my neighbor's yard
Threw rocks next door at the vacant barn
Those old windows
They were worth a lot

[Pre-Chorus]
There's certain times I'm like, "Heyo, heyo"
But you sit me down like, "No way, no no"
You say, "Keep it simple today-oh, ayo"
I've come to learn that's the way-oh, way-oh

[Chorus]
So listen to your mama
Even if you're always right
She'll help you with your problems
And show you everything's alright

[Verse 2]
So we packed up the car, hit a one-way road
Straight up to the woods and the wild unknown
There were signs on my face the objection showed
I didn't wanna know
It was best to go

[Pre-Chorus]
There's certain times I'm like, "Heyo, heyo"
But you sit me down like, "No way, no no"
You say, "Keep it simple today-oh, ayo"
I've come to learn that's the way-oh, way-oh

[Chorus x2]
So listen to your mama
Even if you're always right
She'll help you with your problems
And show you everything's alright
So listen to your mama
Even if you're always right
She'll help you with your problems
And show you everything's alright
