my mama said it

wake up

face the day

nobody ever belongs

sometimes takes time just to leave it alone

stand out

try to be

i never get it too wrong

hard times

thinking what you're fixin to do

my mama said it was all gonna work out in the wash

don't you fret or mope

so just laugh when you're already lost

move

move along the road

my mama said it

my mama said it

i do believe that it's true

if it's all gonna work out in the wash

then i'm cleaning up this mess

i think i'm starting with you!

i think i'm starting with you!

playing on the safe side

maybe you're his main side

ain't no telling how to know so honey don't go rocking the boat

you don't see the downside with kicking on the south side

that way no one ever sees the secrets you been trying to keep

so tired of hiding out

but who do you want to be?

my mama said it was all gonna work out in the wash

don't you fret or mope

so just laugh when you're already lost

move

move along the road

my mama said it

my mama said it

i do believe that it's true

if it's all gonna work out in the wash

then i'm cleaning up this mess

i think i'm starting with you!

so if your trepidation outweighs your fight

and if the consequences weigh down your mind

i let the feeling change me from inside hold on tight

my mama said it was all gonna work out in the wash

don't you fret or mope

so just laugh when you're already lost

move

move along the road

my mama said it

my mama said it

i do believe that it's true

if it's all gonna work out in the wash

then i'm cleaning up this mess

i think i'm starting with you!

i think i'm starting with you!

i think i'm starting with you!

my mama said it was alright

it was alright. my mama said it was alright

it was alright. i think i'm starting with you!
