Momma Ill Be Okay by Everette Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know this ain't the life you woulda chose for me
A rebel with a guitar chasin' down a dream
But if you're gonna get somewhere, sometimes you've gotta leave
I know I don't call home as much as I should
I try not to drink too much and I'm eatin' pretty good
And that motel Gideon Bible, I don't read, but I should
At least I thought about it and I think that's pretty good
[Chorus]
My heart's in Kentucky, my song's in Tennessee
My girl's in California and I sure miss all three
Daddy taught me how to work
And you taught me how to pray
So don't worry 'bout me, Mama, I'll be okay
[Verse 2]
Last night, the bar was crowded and they even sang along
And that record man told me, "Boy, it won't bе long"
I'll save a little money, and buy a tickеt home
I'll be there by Christmas, so leave the porch light on
[Chorus]
My heart's in Kentucky, my song's in Tennessee
My girl's in California and I sure miss all three
But Daddy taught me how to work
And you taught me how to pray
So don't worry 'bout me, Mama, I'll be okay
[Verse 3]
There's a million miles of road in my bloodshot eyes
And in the midnight smoke underneath the neon lights
I swear I've seen a ghost, the Devil in disguise
We had a beer together, but I wouldn't let him buy
[Chorus]
'Cause my heart's in Kentucky, my song's in Tennessee
My girl's in California and I sure miss all three
But Daddy taught me how to work
And you taught me how to pray
So don't worry 'bout me, Mama, I'll be okay
Yeah, Daddy taught me how to work
And you taught me how to pray
So don't worry 'bout me, Mama, I'll be okay
I know this ain't the life you woulda chose for me
A rebel with a guitar chasin' down a dream
But if you're gonna get somewhere, sometimes you've gotta leave
I know I don't call home as much as I should
I try not to drink too much and I'm eatin' pretty good
And that motel Gideon Bible, I don't read, but I should
At least I thought about it and I think that's pretty good
[Chorus]
My heart's in Kentucky, my song's in Tennessee
My girl's in California and I sure miss all three
Daddy taught me how to work
And you taught me how to pray
So don't worry 'bout me, Mama, I'll be okay
[Verse 2]
Last night, the bar was crowded and they even sang along
And that record man told me, "Boy, it won't bе long"

Yeah, Daddy taught me how to work
And you taught me how to pray
So don't worry 'bout me, Mama, I'll be okay
