Zach Ray - That's What Mamas Do Lyrics

She'll change a dirty diaper
Wipe a runny nose
Get a two day purple Kool-Aid stain
Right out of your clothes
And she'll put her last spare dollar
Under your pillow
When you lose a tooth
She'll bust down your door
And drag you out of bed
Make you sit right next to her in church
Wearing your Sunday best
And when she bows her head to pray
You can bet
She's saying one for you
That's what mamas do
They raise you ground you
Build their whole world around you
And they'll carry the weight of your world too
That's what mamas do
She'll keep up with all your girlfriends
Scare off the ones she hates
She'll get a new grey hair and a wrinkle to spare
Every time you come home late
And when you leave to chase that dream
She's gonna cry
When she walks by your empty room
She'll call and sing you happy birthday
When everybody else forgets
On your wedding day she'll joke and say
Hey where are my grandkids
Oh and when she finally gets 'em
She'll spoil 'em rotten
The way her mama did with you
That's what mamas do
They raise you, ground you
Build their whole world around you
And they'll carry the weight of your world too
That's what mamas do
But she'll get old and fragile
And the end will come too soon
She'll let go and you'll hold on
The way all children do
And you'll miss her mourn her
Leave pretty flowers for her
And you'll cry like the baby she knew
And she'll hear you guide you
And pray the light finds you
She'll never stop watching over you
Oh, until you're up there too
That's what mamas do
That's what mamas do
That's what mamas do

She'll change a dirty diaper
Wipe a runny nose
Get a two day purple Kool-Aid stain
Right out of your clothes
And she'll put her last spare dollar
Under your pillow
When you lose a tooth
She'll bust down your door
And drag you out of bed
Make you sit right next to her in church
Wearing your Sunday best
And when she bows her head to pray
You can bet
She's saying one for you
That's what mamas do
They raise you ground you
Build their whole world around you
And they'll carry the weight of your world too
That's what mamas do
She'll keep up with all your girlfriends
Scare off the ones she hates
She'll get a new grey hair and a wrinkle to spare
Every time you come home late
And when you leave to chase that dream
She's gonna cry
When she walks by your empty room
She'll call and sing you happy birthday
When everybody else forgets
On your wedding day she'll joke and say
Hey where are my grandkids
Oh and when she finally gets 'em
She'll spoil 'em rotten
The way her mama did with you
That's what mamas do
They raise you, ground you
Build their whole world around you
And they'll carry the weight of your world too
That's what mamas do
But she'll get old and fragile
And the end will come too soon
She'll let go and you'll hold on
The way all children do
And you'll miss her mourn her
Leave pretty flowers for her
And you'll cry like the baby she knew
And she'll hear you guide you
And pray the light finds you
She'll never stop watching over you
Oh, until you're up there too
That's what mamas do
That's what mamas do
That's what mamas do
