Jason Matthews - That's What Mamas Do Lyrics

She'll change a dirty diaper,
Wipe a runny nose
Get a two day purple Kool-Aid
Stain right out of your clothes
And she'll put her last spare dollar under your pillow

When you lose a tooth
She'll bust down your door
And drag you out of bed
Make you sit right next to her in church
Wearing your Sunday best

And when she bows her head to pray
You can bet she's saying one for you
That's what mamas do
They raise you
Ground you Build their whole world around you

With no care for the hell they'll go through
That's what mamas do
She'll keep up with all your girlfriends
Scare off the ones she hates

She'll get a new grey hair and a wrinkle to spare
Every time you come home late
And when you leave to chase that dream

She's gonna cry when she walks by your empty room
She'll call and sing you happy birthday
When everybody else forgets On your wedding day
She'll joke and say
"Hey

Where are my grandkids?" Oh
And when she finally gets 'em
She'll spoil 'em rotten the way her mama did with you

That's what mamas do
They raise you
Ground you
Build their whole world around you

And they'll carry the weight of your world too
That's what mamas do
But she'll get old and fragile
And the end will come too soon
And she'll let go and you'll hold on
The way all children do And you'll miss her
Mourn her Leave pretty flowers for her

And you'll cry like the baby she knew
And she'll hear you,
Guide you And pray the light finds you
She'll never stop watching over you
Oh, until you're up there, too
