mother may i - caro kelley lyrics

[intro]
mother may i, mother may i
mother may i, oh oh oh
mother may i, mother may i
mother may i, oh oh oh

[verse 1]
he wanted to be like marco polo
one foot on the rudder
and the other on the shore
now he′s been flying solo
everybody’s seen everything
nothing undiscovered anymore
[verse 2]
he got as far as little rock
before his ship it sank and then he
drove another couple thirty miles
on an empty tank
maybe for some folks
oh it′s just the way it goes but he said
not me mama, ooh i’m going home

[chorus]
he said
i don’t want memories
to take the place of you
and if i forget the way i felt
then maybe she will too
so he, oh he called her on a payphone
singing mother may i come home

[post*chorus]
oh oh oh, mother may i
oh mother may i

[verse 3]
he wanted to feel like he was someone
he started out a little step forward
with a compass in his pack
and it wasn′t long
until he wrote a postcard saying
mother may i take a little step back
[verse 4]
he got as far as little rock
before he hit eject and as he
pulled the cord on his parachute thought
oh what did i expect
maybe for other folks
oh it′s just the way it goes but he said
not me mama, i’m going home

[chorus]
he said
i don′t want memories
to take the place of you
and if i forget the way i felt
then maybe she will too
so he, oh he called her on a payphone

[chorus]
and i don’t want memories
to take the place of you
and if i forget the way i felt
then maybe you will too
so he called her on a payphone
singing mother may i come home

[post*chorus]
ooh
come home
mother may i
