I don't have a PhD, I'm a simple man but if you ask me
About my philosophy, all I'd have to tell ya
Is I know wrong from right, well, it's mostly black and white
But it does get gray sometimes that's when I remember
But daddy said, Boy
when
you've got to choose
Which road to take all you've
got
to
do
is
You make your mama proud and let your mama know
You'd be nowhere without her prayers and faith and hope
Make your mama smile and know without a doubt
That everything works out when you make your mama proud
Well, there's a million self-help books, full of clever pop-psych hooks
I don't give them a second look, you know they just confuse me
Dr. Phil, Dr. Ruth, they're okay but to tell the truth
Well, I know my daddy's view is a lot less complicated
'Cause when you gotta problem y'all, you've gotta face it
But you can make this world a better place if you
You make your mama proud and let your mama know
You'd be nowhere without her prayers and faith and hope
You make your mama smile and know without a doubt
That everything works out when you make your mama proud
I guess, Moses must have run out of tablet
'Cause he left out the 11th commandment
Daddy said, Boy
when
you've got to choose
Which road to take all you've
got
to
do
is
You make your mama proud and let your mama know
You'd be nowhere without her prayers and faith and hope
Make your mama smile, you know without a doubt
That everything works out when you make your mama proud
Yeah, you're gonna make your mama proud
You know, you make your mama proud
It's your
