"Mama Raised Me" - John Rowdy
Written by - John Henning Jr

Verse 1
My daddy left me on mamas knee
In the farm in the country
Left me on my own to be a man
So I grew up tall
Grew up right
Learn to fight on a Friday night
All to show the man they come to call

Chorus
Well my mama raised me to be a simple man
Work hard put cash in the can
One day she hope I would understand
I went from fighting to back road riding
One day she hope I understand and learn to stand

Verse 2
Age 18 found myself locked behind the wall
First time in my life I took a fall
She came in and called my name
Hung my head full of shame
Hey mama ain't that man there at all

Chorus
Well my mama raised me to be a simple man
Work hard put cash in the can
One day she hope I would understand
I went from fighting to back road riding
One day she hope I understand and learn to stand

Verse 3
Here I sit at age 34 looking at life wanting more
On my bending knee down on the floor
Praise to god for all I know
Looking at for what I show
Hey mama Im the man you come to call

Chorus
Well my mama raised me to be a simple man
Work hard put cash in the can
One day she hope I would understand
I went from fighting to back road riding
One day she hope I understand and learn to stand

Mama Raised Me
(One day she hope I understand)
Mama Raised Me
Mama Raised Me
