SBC - What Mama Said

She'd hum while she folded the laundry at night
Some old hymn she half-knew, but she'd always get right
Said baby, don't you rush, life will come soon enough
And the people worth keepin' are worth all the rough
I rolled my eyes like I knew better then
Lord I'd give anything to hear her say it again
What mama said, I didn't always listen
Thought I had the answers, thought I knew the way
Now I'm standin' in the wreckage of the choices that I made
Wishin' I had heard every single word she said
She said love like you mean it, pray before you sleep
Hold your people close 'cause nothin's yours to keep
I was too young to know she was teaching me to live
Lord, what I wouldn't give for what mama said
She kept a recipe box by the old stove top
Her handwriting faded but her heart never stopped
Said the table's where family finds its way back
So you leave a light on and you never lock that
Now I cook from her cards when the loneliness comes
And I swear I can hear her hummin' under my tongue
What mama said, I didn't always listen
Thought I had the answers, thought I knew the way
Now I'm standin' in the wreckage of the choices that I made
Wishin' I had heard every single word she said
She said love like you mean it, pray before you sleep
Hold your people close 'cause nothin's yours to keep
I was too young to know she was teaching me to live
Lord, what I wouldn't give for what mama said
I found her Bible in the back of her drawer
Every page dog-eared, every verse underscored
She left no fortune, left no silver, left no gold
Just a worn out book and a love I'm still learnin' to hold
(spoken/whispered)
She knew more than I ever gave her credit for
What mama said, I didn't always listen
Thought I had the answers, thought I knew the way
Now I'm standin' in the wreckage of the choices that I made
Wishin' I had heard every single word she said
She said love like you mean it, pray before you sleep
Hold your people close 'cause nothin's yours to keep
I was too young to know she was teaching me to live
Lord, what I wouldn't give for what mama said
What mama said...
I should've listened...
Lord, what I wouldn't give...
