You don't cry when raise your hands in church
But you'll act tough when those sticks and stones and heartbreaks hurt
Be your shoulder to lean on and honest when you need some
With a smile that can light up a room
Just like your mama, no bull and no drama
You'll know who you are, and you'll know who you ain't
You'll stand on what you believe, golden heart on your sleeve
You won't let this world take your shine away
In the mirror, might just look like me
But deep down, boy, I pray you'll be just like your mama, hmm
You might steal a sip of Crown from your old man's cabinet
You feel cool and then guilty that you ever had it
You'll never meet a stranger and be proud of where you came from
Steady as a Midwest summer sky
Just like your mama, no bull and no drama
You'll know who you are, and you'll know who you ain't
You'll stand on what you believe, golden heart on your sleeve
You won't let this world take your shine away
In the mirror, it might just look like me
But deep down, boy, I pray you'll be just like your mama
Yeah, you'll laugh at all my stupid jokes
And stop at Sonic for a cherry coke
And always get your way with those blue eyes
Just like your mama, oh
Just like your mama, no bull and no drama
You'll know who you are, and you'll know who you ain't
You'll stand on what you believe, golden heart on your sleeve
You won't let this world take your shine away
In the mirror, it might just look like me
Baby boy, I can already see, you're better than my wildest dreams
Just like your mama, just like your mama
