Footloose - Mama Says (Once You Drive Up A Mountain) lyrics

Everything I ever learnt, that gets me through the worst I learnt, from my mama's nagging Anytime I'm turned around, I turn to mama first And you'd be wise to memorize what mama says to me Now mama aint been wrong yet, and I'm living proof Take that for what it's worth! Yeah hahaha Mama says... Don't use a toaster while standing in the shower Now who can argue with that! Mama says... Don't hold your breath for longer than an hour The woman knows where it's at Chorus And mama says it doesn't matter... If you're a king or you're a clown Once you drive up a mountian you can't back down! You can't back down ren! Now ren you've not had the pleasure of meetin' my mama But these boys over here have now Come on and help me out here fellas Mama says... Don't drink hot coffee lying down in bed Don't even give it a thought! It's a mess! Mama says... Never eat anything that's bigger than your head She a wiz or what? And mama says it doesn't matter... If you're a king or you're a clown Once you drive up a mountain you can't back down! Whoa once you drive up a mountain you can't back down! Now mama makes a lot of sense if you know how to listen She is clear, and concise (she's concise! ) Daddy says well I love her son but she's got marbles missing But I say hey! it's free advice! And what do you expect at that price? Mama says... What you believe in is all you really own And I believe that she's right Mama says... If you've got doubts well then boy you're not alone Just means your ready to fight! And mama says it doesn't matter if you're a king or you're a clown Once you drive up a mountain you can't back down! You can turn up the heat! You can turn up the road! You can carry a beat! You can carry a load! You can throw a fit! You can throw a punch! You can bring up a child! You can bring up your lunch... (Aww man! Did your mama say that?) 1, 2, 3! And mama says it doesn't matter If you drive a hard bargain or drive around town! Once you drive up a mountain you can't back down! Once you drive up a mountain you can't back down! (Music ends) (Music starts up again) I thought of one more thing Now mama says... Don't buy your chandelier unless you've got a ceiling Now I don't know what that's about... Mama says... Don't chew on tinfoil unless you like that feeling... Somehow she figured that out! And mama says it doesn't matter if you're a king or you're a clown Once you drive up a mountain Remember boy everyone's counting on you! Once you drive up a mountain you can't back down.! Now that's my mama!
