Ray Thomas - Hey Mama Life Lyrics

Lyrics Hey Mama Life - Ray Thomas



Hey, hey, mama, life is a lonely time
For a man who drinks his whiskey by the jar
Now, I do believe the life I lead won't get me very far
I was once told the streets were paved in gold
Now I know them for what they are
Hey, hey, mama, life has a sweeter sound
For a man who lives his life for his dream
Yet he must be aware there are those who care
And those who would bring him down
Separate trust from your cut and thrust
The truth can still be found
For the crossroads of your life will lead you almost anywhere
You'll see tomorrow
Your castles in the air, they were never really there
Take the pride from a man, you're left without a meaning
Take the wings from a bird, how can it fly?
Give him hope, give him trust and a little understanding
Give him back his pride, you'll be satisfied
Hey, hey, mama, life is a lonely time
For a man who drinks his whiskey by the jar
Now, I do believe the life I lead, it won't get me very far
I was once told the streets, they were paved in gold
Now I know them for what they are
