Call Your Mama Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take one last look in that rear view on your way
Outta that stick around town you're about to leave behind
And go get lost to find yourself
Don't be afraid to go and have yourself the craziest of times
Make some new friends
Be someone you've never been
But every now and then...
[Chorus]
Call your mama
Sit and listen to her small town drama
And get you all caught up on all your sisters and your brothers
Boy, listen to your mother
'Cause you ain't ever gonna get another
Someone you get to call your mama, yeah
[Verse 2]
One of these days on down the road
You're gonna find
You a strong willed girl with a gentle heart like hers
And don't forget to call her dad 'fore you buy that ring
And if they both say yes then first things first
[Chorus]
Call your mama
Sit and listen to her small town drama
And get you all caught up on all your sisters and your brothers
Boy, listen to your mother
'Cause you ain't ever gonna get another
Someone you get to call your mama
Take one last look in that rear view on your way
Outta that stick around town you're about to leave behind
And go get lost to find yourself
Don't be afraid to go and have yourself the craziest of times
Make some new friends
Be someone you've never been
But every now and then...
[Chorus]
Call your mama
Sit and listen to her small town drama
And get you all caught up on all your sisters and your brothers
Boy, listen to your mother
'Cause you ain't ever gonna get another
Someone you get to call your mama, yeah
[Verse 2]
One of these days on down the road
You're gonna find
You a strong willed girl with a gentle heart like hers
And don't forget to call her dad 'fore you buy that ring
And if they both say yes then first things first
[Chorus]
Call your mama
Sit and listen to her small town drama
And get you all caught up on all your sisters and your brothers
Boy, listen to your mother
'Cause you ain't ever gonna get another
Someone you get to call your mama
[Bridge]
And do it while you can
Even when you don't wanna
'Cause there's gonna come a day the good Lord's gonna
Call your mama
Mmm, he's gonna call your mama
[Chorus]
Yeah, pick up the phone boy, you better call your mama
Sit and listen to her small town drama
Get you all caught up on all your sisters and your brothers
Oh, tell her that you love her
'Cause you ain't ever gonna get another
So call your mama
Mmm, you better call your mama
And do it while you can
Even when you don't wanna
'Cause there's gonna come a day the good Lord's gonna
Call your mama
Mmm, he's gonna call your mama
[Chorus]
Yeah, pick up the phone boy, you better call your mama
Sit and listen to her small town drama
Get you all caught up on all your sisters and your brothers
Oh, tell her that you love her
'Cause you ain't ever gonna get another
So call your mama
Mmm, you better call your mama

What did Seth Ennis say about "Call Your Mama"?
Genius Answer
When speaking to The Boot, Seth’s mom said,
[When I first heard that he’d written the song, I thought] that it was a joke! He just told me that he had written a song, and I asked him what the name of it was, and he said, “Call Your Mama.” I thought, “Oh, he’s making fun of me,” because I say that to him all the time. And then he sent me the song.I listened to it by myself in private, and cried a little bit, and then let him know that I was very proud.
