Purple Mountains
I Loved Being My Mother’s Son
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was
[Verse 3]
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

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

[Post-Chorus]
She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was

[Outro]
(She was, she was, she was)
(She was, she was, she was)
(She was, she was, she was)
(She was, she was, she was)
