Easy life ain’t so easy for me

Thank gGod I’m not working in a factory

Piss life away if I could

And my Mama always told me I would

At age 15 I was your average kid

I got into trouble like the other ones did

And have a toke when I could

But my Mama never quite understood

(Chorus1)

She musta told me a million times

Put down that stick before you put out your eye

Clean underwear and a good attitude

Do your homework and eat all your food

Off on my own I thought I’d give it a whack

I thought someday that I would surely come back

And I knew that I should

Cuz my Mama aways told me I could

At age 35 and a 9 ta 5 job

I’m just your average,everyday slob

Go back to school if I could

Cuz my Mama always told me I should

(chorus2)

Always there to lend me a hand

She got me out of so many jams

I used to think that I knew it all

But what I ate for breakfast I can’t recall

(repeat chorus1)
