My Mother Told Me Lyrics

My mother told me someday I would buy

Galley's with good ores and sail to distant shores

Stand up high in the prow

Noble barque I steer

Steady course for the havens

Hew many foe men

My mother told me someday I would buy

Galley's with good ores and sail to distant shores

Stand up high in the prow

Noble barque I steer

Steady course for the havens

Hew many foe men

My mother once told me you better go find yourself

Find something to believe in and then always remind yourself

Who you are and where you came from don't forget where you got that name from

Cause this world with chew you then spit you but you're gonna have to stand for something when the day comes

To meet your maker

I'm a freak of nature

With a piece of paper

Flip your whole entire life upside down

All around you like surround sound

Quite the loud mouth

Bite and chow down

All ya'll dreams get wiped and drowned out

I'd like the crown now

Ignite and bow out

That my drive now windows down pedal down speeding oh yeah that's that vibe now

It's my destiny to be the best to be the only one left standing all the rest can bleed

Cause I am

To all the rest it's rest in peace because

My mother told me someday I would buy

Galley's with good ores and sail to distant shores

Stand up high in the prow

Noble barque I steer

Steady course for the havens

Hew many foe men

Life gets tough on them high sea's

But set that goal to meet cause nobody can see what your eye sees

Jot that down in your diary

And underline these words no ship can sail on a light breeze

Them winds will whip and that storm will get too heavy

You got that fight in you and you ready for any and everything

Keeping it moving and tether your dreams to that horizon

And to your surprise then when you reach that shore you'll beach those oars

You'll remember those words you were told when you get old

You'll tell this tale to your offspring about your calling it goes

My mother told me someday I would buy

Galley's with good ores and sail to distant shores

Stand up high in the prow

Noble barque I steer

Steady course for the havens

Hew many foe men

My mother told me someday I would buy

Galley's with good ores and sail to distant shores

Stand up high in the prow

Noble barque I steer

Steady course for the havens

Hew many foe men
