Joe Walsh Mother Says Lyrics

Mother says, "Be careful
And don't stay out too long
Don't do things you shouldn't
Miss me when I'm gone?

Daddy says, "Not now, son
Well, just do the best you can
And you'll make out somehow, son
Be just like I am, just like I am?

You won't need a reason
She don't let you choose
And so to make the game easy
Mother makes the rules

We all know how the rules are
Changing from day to day
That's the breaks and I'm sorry Some of us must be going
Some of us have to stay
Some of us may be showing
Some just fade away

It's sad to say it's the ending
All the feelings gone
If you don't mind pretending
You can come along

And Mother says she's ready
And if you have the time
She'll help us all to get steady

Make us all feel better
Make us all feel fine
Make us all feel better
Make us all feel fine
