Nathaniel Rateliff - Hey Mama lyrics

Hey mama, why it’s me Say you better wait child Said you’ve been a long time running Saving a long time money Hey mama, answer me Baby boy you better sit down Can’t listen when the suns out My only son, this’ll be so hard to hear C’mon mama, what do you mean I know you’ve been knocked down I know it ain’t all been easy Nothing ever good really is Why you gotta wait so long Why you gotta wait so long But she said son let me reason with you You think you carry such a weight I know I never beat you boy Better start acting like this here’s a race You ain’t gone far enough to say At least I tried You ain’t worked hard enough to say Well I’ve done mine You ain’t run far enough to say My legs have failed You ain’t gone far enough You ain’t worked hard enough You ain’t run far enough to say It ain’t gonna get any better You picked a bad time You picked a bad time to listen to me You picked a bad time You picked a bad time to listen to me You picked a bad time You picked a bad time to listen to me You picked a bad time You picked a bad time to listen to me You ain’t gone far enough to say At least I tried You ain’t worked hard enough to say Well I’ve done mine You ain’t run far enough to say My legs have failed You ain’t gone far enough You ain’t worked hard enough You ain’t run far enough to say It ain’t gonna get any better
