Lyrics

I knew a little boy
A sorry little crazy boy
His mother never let him out of the house

Then one day his mother said,
?Little boy you?re all grown up
Go out and make your mama proud.?
?Mama, how??

He was all of 18
Never had to find his own
But now he could finally do things his way
The boy went to work and made his mistakes
Got his degree in life, as they say

CHORUS:
He?s alright
He?s OK
And he didn?t need mama anyway
He?s alive

Now the boy, he?s a papa
He lives with a wife, two kids and a dog
Never sees or talks to mama

Papa made a pact with himself
Never to do as his mama did
Wants to give his kids the chance to better than he did

He sent his kids to college
Paid their way
He was so proud on graduation day

CHORUS
