                        Hey Mama Life    (Ray Thomas)

                                        
     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

     Hey, hey mama life, is a lonely time

                                               
     For a man, who drinks his whisky, by the jar
