The Rapacious Herd - Mama Say

Mama say, "Son, day'll come that girl's gonna boot you out
You're a man like any other, she's gonna find you out
She's gonna kick you to the curb like I kicked your daddy, that worthless sack
And when she makes you walk away, baby, show a little pride
And don't look back
Don't look back"
Well, my mama, she swallowed a bitter pill
Ask her she'll say a man thinks with his testicle
And for years she kicked me around like a Hacky Sack
But I stayed sane and I own the pain and I don't look back
No, I don't look back
Mama say
I hear it every day they say, there goes a damaged man
I'm not proud, but I won't be cowed, and I'm doing the best I can
Nothing changes if I haul all the hurt my mama made me pack
It's hard letting go but I do and I don't look back
No, I don't look back
Mama say
Boots keep marching forward
Kicking up the dirt
What becomes of someone like me
Looking for company
And trying not to hurt
Mama say, "Son, no one's gonna ever love you"
I say, hey Mama, that's old news and it may be true
But I'm thinking there's a girl somewhere
Who might just have some time
She can send me away someday but until she does I'm doing fine
And I won't look back
Mama say
