What Would My Mama Say Lyrics - Roger Miller

You don't know what it's about 

But you go out and try 

You're young and your wings have just feathered 

And you're dying to fly 

Dreaming is easy 

But living is hard I'm afraid 

I come from South Georgia 

I feel like I walked all the way 

How much does it cost to Valdosta? 

How much for just a part of the way? 

Lord, I'm tired and I'm hungry 

And I ain't got much money 

What would my mama say 

Sometimes the notion comes 

One wants to just run away 

From all that he's bothered by 

Little things, day after day 

Sometimes the rain is cold 

Sometimes the sun shines down 

Life's just a ball game 

That can't be played all in one town 

How much does it cost to Valdosta? 

How much for just a part of the way? 

Lord, I'm tired and I'm hungry 

And I ain't got much money 

What would my mama say 

How much does it cost to Valdosta? 

How much for just a part of the way? 

Lord, I'm tired and I'm hungry 

And I ain't got much money 

What would my mama say 

What would my mama say
