what would my mama say

you don't know what it's about

but you go out and try

you're young and your wings have just feathered

and you're dying to fly

dreaming is easy

but living is hard i'm afraid

i come from south georgia

and i feel like i walked all the way

how much does it cost to valdosta

how much for just a part of the way

lord i'm tired and i'm hungry

and i ain't got much money

what would my mama say

sometimes the notion comes

one wants to just run away

from all that he's bothered by

little things

day after day

sometimes the rain is cold

sometimes the sun shines down

life's just a ball game

that can't be played all in one town

how much does it cost to valdosta

how much for just a part of the way

lord i'm tired and i'm hungry

and i ain't got much money
