My mama said
that your life is a gift
And my mama said
there's much weight
you will lift
And my mama said
leave those
bad boys alone
And my mama said
be home before
the dawn
And my mama said
you can be
rich or poor
But my mama said
you can be
big or small
But I'm always
on the run
Always on the run
But I'm always
on the run
My mama said
that it's good
to be truthful
But my mama said
don't take more
than a mouthful
And my mama said
that it's good
to be natural
And my mama said
that it's good
to be factual
But I'm always
on the run
Always on the run
But I'm always
on the run
My mama said
baby don't ride
that crazy horse
And my mama said
you must push
with much force
And my mama said
Go get all
that you're after
And my mama said
that love's
all that matters
But I'm always
on the run
Always on the run
But I'm always
on the run
But I'm always
on the run
But I'm always
on the run
