One hopeful road that my Mamma showed to me
From the moment I first standed I didn't know
Back there and then she released me free
From that patched up shackle down my Pa was handed
She said Tyrone go be the King you're meant to be
Like a stone roll on your mission hurry now son
There are songs need to be sung
And you're the one to which the heart it is releasin
Mother said run Baby Run go ahead run Baby run
Mother said run Baby run run like the river
Interlude
As wheels do turn is how I go you all sure should know
As flames do burn I am ignited towards the wind
With squinted eyes I look ahead
Cos in the end they're all behind me long been ridin
Mother said run Baby Run go ahead run Baby run
Mother said run Baby run run like the river
Mother said run Baby Run go ahead run Baby run
Mother said run Baby run run like the river
Run baby run
Run baby run
Mother said run Baby Run go ahead run Baby run
Mother said run Baby run run like the river
Mother said run Baby Run go ahead run Baby run
Mother said run Baby run run like the river
