Lyrics

Caution where the children play
Busier than yesterday
I see gum nuts on the ground
The leaves are barely holding on
My old ways are almost gone
Hot soup is on the stove 
Mamas got a heart of gold

Where do you go when you're feeling blue?
Or busting a bad attitude?
Or stretching the truth?
This medicine should make you well
Down the hatch and give em hell
Hot soup is on the stove
Mamas got a heart of gold

My only comfort is in old ways,
and long and sunny days
I had a wagon once,
I traveled around and made things right
Now I'm older I will slow down,
and follow my heart
Wherever it may lead
That's all that I've got left
And everything I need

Easy come and easy go
The older kids put on a show
It makes the baby laugh 
Ever since I found a home
My old ways are all but gone
Hot soup is on the stove 
Mamas got a heart of gold
