Billy Yates - Mama Said lyrics

The voice of opportunity was callin’ out my name So me and daddy’s suit-case boarded that ol’ train Headed for a new life in a place I’d never been Wanderin’ when I’d see this town again We pulled into the station in a town called New Orleans It wasn’t long ‘til hard times nearly got the best of me It would’ve been so easy to give up and go back home But somethin’ always kept me hangin’ on Mama said there’d be days like this Son that’s just the way it is Some times things don’t work out for the best You can’t stop the storm from rollin’ in Take shelter it’ll pa** and then The sun is gonna shine Mama said there’d be days like this

I met her in a French cafÈ just outside of town I gave her my heart and pretty soon we settled down But she grew cold and restless and took off like the wind Some times you lose some times you just can’t win Mama said there’d be days like this Son that’s just the way it is Some times things don’t work out for the best You can’t stop the storm from rollin’ in Take shelter it’ll pa** and then The sun is gonna shine Mama said there’d be days like this You can’t stop the storm from rollin’ in Take shelter it’ll pa** and then The sun is gonna shine Mama said there’d be days like this
