Hey, hey, mama life
Is a lonely time
For a man
Who drinks his whiskey
By the jug
Now I do believe
The life I lead
Won't get me very far
I was once told the streets
Were paved in gold
Now I know them
For what they are
Hey, hey, mama life
Has a sweeter sound
For a man
Who lives his life
For his dream
Yet he must be aware
There are those who care
And of those who will
Bring him down
Separate trust
From your cut-thrust
The truth can still be found
For the crossroads of your life
Will lead you almost anywhere
You'll see tomorrow
Your castles in the air
They were never really there
Take the pride from a man
You're left without a meaning
Take the wings from a bird
How can it fly?
Give him hope, give him trust
And a little understanding
Give him back his pride
You'll be satisfied
Hey, hey, mama life
Is a lonely time
For a man
Who drinks his whiskey
By the jug
Now I do believe
The life I lead
Won't get me very far
I was once told the streets
Were paved in gold
Now I know them
For what they are
