Hey, hey mama life, is a lonely time
For a man, who drinks his whisky, by the jar
Now I do believe, the life I lead, won't get me very far
I was once told, the streets were paved in gold
Now I know them for what they are
Hey, hey mama life, has a sweeter sound
For a man, who lives his life, for his dream
Yet he must be aware, there are those who care
And of those who would bring him down
Separate trust, from your cut and thrust, the truth can still be found
For the crossroads of your life, will lead you almost anywhere
You'll see tomorrow
Your castles in the air, they were never really there
Take the pride from a man, you're left without a meaning
Take the wings from a bird, how can it fly
Give him hope, give him trust, and a little understanding
Give him back his pride, you'll be satisfied
Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh...] x3
Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh
Hey, hey mama life, is a lonely time
For a man, who drinks his whisky, by the jar
Now I do believe, the life I lead, it won't get me very far
I was once told, the streets they were paved in gold
Now I know them for what they are
Aaaaaaaaaahhhh...] Repeat and fade
