Hey Mama - Mat Kearney

She don’t know what she wants to be

With all the pictures in the magazines

Holding hands when she’s mad at me

'cause she don’t wanna go, don’t wanna go

I met her at anthropology

Purple boots and her golden dreams

Standing there like a Tennessee queen

Singing don’t look at me, don’t look at me

Singing oh oh

Won’t you help me sing this song

Singing ee ee ee

She don’t ever want to go to sleep

Singing hey mama, don’t want no drama

Just a kiss before I leave

Hey lady, don’t say maybe

You’re the one that I can believe

Hey lover, don’t want no other

Finger for my ring

Hey mama, hey hey mama

Hey mama, hey hey mama

Hey mama, hey hey mama

Hey mama, hey hey mama

Oh oh

Ooh oh oh oh

Ooh oh oh oh

I can see it in her Cherokee eyes

Those baby browns and the golden thighs

What you doing for the rest of your life?

Cause you don’t want, don’t wanna go

Singing oh oh

Won’t you help me sing this song

Singing ee ee ee

She playing like a mystery

Singing hey mama, don’t want no drama

Just a kiss before I leave

Hey lady, don’t say maybe

You’re the one that I can believe

Hey lover, don’t want no other

Finger for my ring

Hey mama, hey hey mama

Hey mama, hey hey mama

Hey mama, hey hey mama

Hey mama, hey hey mama

Oh oh

Ooh oh oh oh

Ooh oh oh oh

Couldn’t be more opposite

I’m hard to please and you’re hard to get

You’re Mississippi and I’m Oregon

You’re sun tanned and I’m porcelain skinned

Singing hey mama, don’t want no drama

Just a kiss before I leave

Hey lady, don’t say maybe

You’re the one that I can believe

Hey lover, don’t want no other

Finger for my ring

Hey mama, hey hey mama

Hey mama, hey hey mama

Hey mama, hey hey mama

Hey mama, hey hey mama

Oh oh

Ooh oh oh oh

Ooh oh oh oh
