[Intro]

This is a song about your fuckin' mother


[Verse 1]

It ain't easy livin' like a gypsy

Tell you, honey, how it feels

I been dreamin', floatin' downstream, and

Losin' touch with all that's real


[Verse 2]

Whole lotta lover, keepin' undercover

Never knowin' where you been, ooh, yeah

You been fadin', always out paradin'

Keep in touch with Mama Kin


[Chorus]

You always got your tail on the wag

Spittin' fire from your mouth just like a dragon

You act like a perpetual drag

You better check it out or someday soon

You're gonna climb back on the wagon


[Verse 3]

It ain't easy living like you wanna

And so hard to find peace of mind, yes it is

The way I see it, you got to say, "Shit," but

Don't forget to drop me a line


[Chorus]

Bald as an egg at eighteen

And workin' for your daddy just a drag

You still stuff your mouth with his beans

You better check it out or someday soon

You're gonna climb back on the wagon


[Bridge]

Keep in touch with Mama Kin

Tell her where you gone and been

Livin' out your fantasy

Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

Keep in touch with Mama Kin

Tell her where you gone and been

Livin' out your fantasy

Sleepin' late and suckin' me, oh, no


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

It ain't easy livin' like you wanna

And so hard to find peace of mind, yes it is

The way I see it, you got to say, "Shit," but

Don't forget to drop me a line


[Chorus]

Bald as an egg at eighteen

And workin' for your daddy just a drag

You still stuff your mouth with his beans

You better check it out or someday soon

You're gonna climb back on the wagon


[Outro]

Keep in touch with Mama Kin

Tell her where you gone and been

Livin' out your fantasy

Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

Keep in touch with Mama Kin

Tell her where you gone and been

Livin' out your fantasy

Sleepin' late and suckin' me, oh

Ow, ow, ow, yeah, ow

Ow

Ow
