Call Your Mama
Finding Roots: A Song's Journey to Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Take one last look in that
Encouragement to take a final look
Rear view on your way
Reflect on leaving the current place
Outta that stick around town you're
Departing from the familiar town
About to leave behind
Moving away from that place
And go get lost to find yourself
Getting lost to discover oneself
Don't be afraid to go and have
Encouragement to experience wild times
Yourself the craziest of times
Enjoy life to the fullest
Make some new friends
Form new friendships
Be someone you've never been
Embrace a different identity
But every now and then
Reminder to stay connected
Call your mama
Advice to call one's mother
Sit and listen to her small town drama
Listen to mother's stories
And get you all caught up on
Get updated on family news

Boy, listen to your mother

'Cause you ain't ever gonna get another

Future prediction of finding a similar-hearted person
You're gonna find

Describing a resilient yet kind girl
A gentle heart like hers
Resemblance to mother's traits
And don't forget to call her dad
