Lyrics

When I was young, I heard my mama singing
Late at night spinning those blues
As far back as I remember I can still hear her crying
Singing like she had nothing to lose

So I’ll keep playing, I’ll keep singing
Putting words to a tune Keep on sharing mamas blues

Woke up thinking What else would I do
If I couldn’t keep singing her blues
It’s my way of healing, how she taught me to belong
Writing words to a song

So I’ll keep playing, I’ll keep singing
Putting words to a tune Keep on sharing mama’s blues

I’m called to the music
I’m called to the song
That’s how I learned to belong, to belong

I’m called to the music
I’m called to the song
That’s how I’ve learned to belong

I can still feel her voice right next to me
Smiling from somewhere peaceful and free
Crying ain’t easy but I do plenty of that
Playing her blues is where I’m at

So I’ll keep playing And I’ll keep singing
Putting words to a tune Keep on sharing mama’s blues

I’m called to the music
I’m called to the song
It’s all how I learned to belong
I’m called to the music
I’m called to the song
It’s all how I’ve learned to belong, to belong
Sharing Mama’s Blues
Sharing Mama’s Blues
Sharing Mama’s Blues
