Lay back on Sunday Back to work Monday Round and round again It kinda seems funny All just for money Where does it start and where does it end? And Mama is always on the run and she's tired I can tell Mama's always on the run And it seems her work is never done And it's hard Hard as hell Mama's always on the run And she's tired She says it's gonna be alright Another day and one more night And she says she's gonna be home soon And it won't be long It won't be long And all I can say is that I'd rather you here today If I had my way you'd be here today All that I know I'd rather you never go If I had it my way That's all I know And Mama is always on the run and she's tired I can tell Mama's always on the run And it seems her work is never done
And it's hard Hard as hell Mama's always on the run And she's tired She says it's gonna be alright Another day and one more night And she says she's gonna be home soon And it won't be long It won't be long She says it's gonna be alright Another day and one more night And she says she's gonna be home soon And it won't be long It won't be long Mama's always on the run and she's tired I can tell Mama's always on the run And it seems her work is never done And it's hard Hard as hell Mama's always on the run (verse 2x) She says it's gonna be alright Another day and one more night And she says she's gonna be home soon And it won't be long It won't be long Won't be long Won't be long --- .
