You're gonna 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, mm

You might steal a sip of Crown from your old man's cabinet
Feel cool and then guilty that you ever had it
You'll never meet a stranger
And 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 might just look like me
But deep down, boy, I pray you'll be
Just like your mama
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 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
