                       Eb    Bb 
Mama said that it was okay 
                       Dm7            Gm 
Mama said that it was quite alright 
                        Dm7          Gm 
Our kinda people had a bed for the night 
               F 
and it was okay 


                       Eb           Bb 
Mama said that we were good kids 
                          Dm7             Gm 
and daddy told us never listen to the ones 
                 Dm7                  Gm 
pointing nasty fingers and making fun 
                    F 
'cause we were good kids 


                        Gm 
Remember asking both my mom and dad 
                        Bb 
Why we never travel to exotic lands 
                          Gm 
We only ever really visit friends 
                           Bb 
Nothing to tell when the summer ends 


                     Gm 
We never really went buying clothes 
       Eb                                 Bb 
'cause folks were passing on the stuff in plenty loads 
                Gm 
New shoes once a year and then 
                             Bb 
Out to play ball so we could go in them 


                            Eb    Bb

'cause we were good kids 


                              Gm 
Don't get me wrong, I didn't have it bad 
             (Eb)           Bb 
I got enough loving from my mom and dad 
                              Gm 
But I don't think they really understood 
                   (Eb)               Bb 
When I said that I wanted to deal in Hollywood 


                         Gm 
I told 'em I'd be singing on tv 
             (Eb)           Bb 
The other kids were callin' me a wannabe 
                            Gm 
The older kids they started bugging me 
                    (Eb)              Bb 
But now they're all standing right in front of me 


                            Eb    Bb

Gm           Dm 
I know which place im from 
Eb        Bb 
I know my home 
Gm           C 
When Im in doubt and struggling 
Eb       Bb 
thats where I'll go 

       Gm                C 
An old friend can give advice 
          Eb                         Bb 
when new friends only know the half story 
               Gm                Am 
That's why I always keep 'em tight 
                   Eb 
And while you're okay 
            F 
I said I'm okay 

(You know what my mama said? You know what she told me?)
