Kostars - Mama Never Said lyrics

Mama never said it would be easy If only she would take my hand and show me what to do It gives me the blues to walk the long and narrow path I do But you have to get the blues to get anywhere at all You have to get the blues to get anywhere at all I just want to live my life in harmony The way I try you'd think I'd see it frequently Why do I keep getting fussin', fightin', cussin', strife and trouble You have to get the blues to get anywhere at all You have to get the blues to get anywhere at all Mama never said it would be easy But she never told me it would be so hard Softening the edges doesn't please me It could never soothe my searching heart Dimestore puzzles fit together nicely But the pieces of my life don't fit precisely Stories mama told me always had a happy ending But I have to tell my own to get anywhere at all I have to tell my own to get anywhere at all Mama knew the rules and kept on smiling Even though her spirit was in hiding But when I hide my thoughts collide And I get caught up in the lie You have to kiss the sky to get anywhere at all You have to kiss the sky to get anywhere at all Mama never said it would be easy But she never told me it would be so hard Softening the edges doesn't please me It could never soothe my searching heart.
