Sometimes I think I drink too much.
But mostly it's just when I'm bored.
I just want to go out there and live my life.
But my Mama wants me to go out there and find the lord.

But I'm not my Mama's girl
Not like I thought I was
And I guess all of that unconditional love
Is just not for us.

Now I ain't saying that she don't try.
No, she always puts on her best disguise.
And I think I've learned to read people pretty good.
But I don't see a single word about me when I read her eyes.

And I'm not my Mama's girl.
Not like I'd like to be.
And what I can't seem to understand.
Is how she doesn't feel the love I feel when she looks at me.

Now Mama was I really all that bad?
Cause I kinda think I turned out pretty good.
And I never turned down anyone who ever asked me for help
And Mama I always did the best that I could.
Yeah Mama, I always did the very best that I could.
To take care of everyone.
But I finally just had to go and take care of me
And if god can't seem to forgive me for the things I had to do.
Then I guess that's just the way it'll have to be.
It's kinda shitty Mama, but that's just how it'll have to be.

Cause Mama I'm not your girl.
Cause you would never let me be.
And if you can't find a way to love and forgive me.
Then Mama, I hope you and god are happy and you find what you need.
Yeah Mama, I hope you find what you need.
And Mama I hope I can find what I need.
I just hope I find what I need.
