My Momma Always Told Me
My mother always told me
~
"If your head wasn't attached, you'd lose that too"
Throughout my life, I was born to lose
Ever since I was able to walk; in shoes
At two years old, I lost my first toy
My momaa told me- "That's because you're a boy"
At three years old, I lost my first truck
My dadda told me- "You lost it...you're sh-t out a luck"
At five years old, I lost my first tooth
My brudder told me- "You look like a doof!"
At ten years old, I lost my first bike
My sisster told me- "To go take a hike"
At twenty years old, I lost my first job
My uncoo'l told me- "Can't you find something to rob"
At thirty years old, I lost my first wife
The preachaman told me- "To go get a new life"
At sixty years old, I'd lost my mind
(If all my loses were in a box full of loses)
Ya wanna know, what would be the first, I would hope to find
Sorry, too much time has been bought
I think I lost my thought
