Purple Mountains - I Loved Being My Mother's Son Lyrics

Way back when it first begun
Starting when I first was young
Through all the years that were to come
I loved being my mother's son

Yeah, I loved being my mother's son
I loved her so because
She was so good and kind to me
She was, she was, she was

She helped me walk, she watched me run
She got where I was coming from
And when I couldn't count my friends on a single thumb
I loved her to the maximum

Yeah, I loved being my mother's son
I loved her so because
She was so kind and genuine
She was, she was, she was

She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was

When she was gone, I was overcome
The simple fact left me stunned
I wasn't done being my mother's son
Only now am I seeing that being's done

Yeah, I loved being my mother's son
I loved her so because
She was my faithful guardian
She was, she was, she was

She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was

(She was, she was, she was)
(She was, she was, she was)
(She was, she was, she was)
(She was, she was, she was)
