i loved being my mother's son
purple mountains
way back when it first begun
starting when i first was young
through all the years that were to come
i loved being my mother's son
i loved being my mother's son
she was so good and kind to me
she got where i was coming from
and when i couldn't count my friends on a single thumb
i loved her to the maximum
i loved being my mother's son
she was so kind and genuine
the simple fact left me stunned
i wasn't done being my mother's son
only now am i seeing that being's done
i loved being my mother's son
she was my faithful guardian
