US Mail - Kevin Morby

Mama won’t you, write me a letter?

Stick it in the US Mail

And mama I do, hope you feel better

For you, I will not fail

I may not always be there when you need me, but don’t be scared

You may not always be there when I need you, but I have no fear

And mama I know you’ve done things

In which you are not proud

But mama me, if only me, would know

The things that’d you’d go through, to wow a crowd

Cause when I was a little girl, you’d dress me like Bardot,

And the hallway’d become a catwalk, and you’d watch me go to the show

Said, «All the little girls were pretty, but I was pretty like fresh flowers»

I was a super hero, mama, with super powers

You may not always be there when I need you, but I’m not scared

I may not always be there when you need me, but have no fear

I’m right here, in your ear

I will be leaving soon, oh yeah all of you

So take care of each other out there

For I will always be, in your heart you see

I’m right here: put your hand over your chest

Oh and always do your best

Come Lola, come Clementine, come Zuzu

Come Loretta, come Sierra, come Blue

Come Honey, come children, come kids

Oh the whole world is out dancing in the street

Kick off your shoes, child, feel the cold and wet concrete
