It will be here for a limited time only, as Leo prepares several more releases from his extensive archives for release on all platforms in the near future.
'This is a song for all of you blessed with a Mother. However complicated that relationship might have been throughout the years, there should be something here for you hold onto.'
-- Leo Napier
Here are the lyrics:
VERSE 1
I WAS A LONELY CHILD
BUT I WASN’T ALONE JUST WILD
I HAD HER ON MY SIDE
MAMA COULD SEE MY LIGHT
AND EVEN THOUGH I WOULD FIGHT
SHE KNEW I’D TURN OUT ALRIGHT
CHORUS
WELL SHE GAVE ME MY NAME
SHE GAME TO MOST OF MY GAMES
SHE TOLD ME I COULD BE FAMOUS
AND NOW I THANK HER FOR IT
YOU’VE BEEN THERE ALL MY LIFE
SHE COOKED ALL OF MY MEALS
BOUGHT ME MY FIRST SET OF WHEELS
THOUGHT SHE WAS MADE OF STEEL
NOW I CAN THANK HER FOR IT
SHE’S KNOWN ME ALL MY LIFE
VERSE 2
BEFORE I BECAME A MAN
I USED TO HOLD HER HAND
MAMA SAID IT WOULDN’T LAST
THAT I WAS GROWING UP TOO FAST
AND THAT I COULD I BE ANYTHING I WANNA BE
MAMA BELIEVED ME
CHORUS 2
WELL SHE GAVE ME MY NAME
SHE GAME TO MOST OF MY GAMES
SHE TOLD ME I COULD BE FAMOUS
AND NOW I THANK HER FOR IT
YOU’VE BEEN THERE ALL MY LIFE
WHEN SHE SPANKED ME IT WAS FOR REAL
HER HANDS WERE MADE OUT OF STEEL
I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD HEAL
AND NOW I THANK HER FOR IT
SHE WAS THERE ALL MY LIFE
BRIDGE
MAMA WAS RIGHT
I GREW UP FAST
SHE WAS GONE
JUST ME AND DAD
I WAS CONFUSED
AND I WAS MAD
KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL
AND TURNING BAD
MAMA TRIED
IN HER OWN WAY
BUT THERE WAS NOTHING
THAT COULD MAKE HER STAY
IN CALIFORNIA
BY THE SEA
IN PARADISE
THE DEVIL ROAMS FREE
I WAS LOST
WILD NIGHTS
I WAS ANGRY
I’D GET IN FIGHTS
PARENTS ARE
JUST KIDS GROWN OLD
BUT WAY BACK THEN
I DIDN’T KNOW
IN THE END
THE MUSIC RAISED ME
THE SONGS I WROTE
THE LYRICS SAVED ME
THEY KEPT ME
FROM GOING CRAZY
THE FINAL GIFT
THAT MAMA GAVE ME
CHORUS 3
WELL SHE GAVE ME MY NAME
SHE GAME TO MOST OF MY GAMES
SHE TOLD ME I COULD BE FAMOUS
AND NOW I THANK HER FOR IT
YOU’VE BEEN THERE ALL MY LIFE
WHEN I WAS BROKE AND ALONE
SHE BOUGHT MY PLANE TICKET HOME
AND NOW SHE GAVE ME THIS SONG
AND NOW I THANK HER FOR IT
SHE WAS THERE ALL MY LIFE
WHEN SHE SPANKED ME IT WAS FOR REAL
HER HANDS WERE MADE OUT OF STEEL
I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD HEAL
AND NOW I THANK HER FOR IT
SHE WAS THERE ALL MY LIFE
