[E] Mama said that it was [Ab] okay
[Bb] Mama said [Dm] that it was going [Gm] alright
Our kind of [Dm] people had a friend for [Gm] a life
And it was [F] okay
Mama told [Eb] us we were good kids
[Bb] And daddy told [Dm] us never listen to [Gm] anyone
But [Dm] in our beginning it [Gm] was clear that we were [F] good kids
[Gm] Remember asking both my mom and dad
Why [F] we never travel [Bb] to exotic lands
[Gm] We only ever really visit friends
[Am] Nothing to [Bb] tell when the summer ends
We never really [Gm] went buying clothes
[Eb] Folks were passing on [Bb] the stuff in plenty loads
New shoes [Gm] once a year and then
I was [A] playing balls [Bb] we could ruin them
But mama said [Eb] that it was okay
[Bb] Mama said [Dm] that it was going [Gm] alright
Our kind of people [Dm] had a friend for [Gm] the night
And it was [F] okay
Mama told [Eb] us we were good kids
[Bb] And daddy told [Dm] us never listen to [Gm] the ones
[Dm] Pointing at the fingers and making [Gm] fun
Cause we were good [F] kids
[Gm] Don't get me wrong I didn't have it bad
I got [A] enough loving [Bb] from my mom and dad
But I don't think they [Gm] really understood
When I said that [A] I wanted a [Bb] deal in Hollywood
I [Gm] told them I'd be singing on TV
[Eb] The other kids were calling [Bb] me a wannabe
The other kids they [Gm] started bugging me
But now [A] they're all standing [Bb] right in front of me
When mama said [Eb] that it was okay
[Bb] Mama said that [Dm] it was going [Gm] alright
Our kind of people [Dm] had a friend for the [Gm] night
And it was [F] okay
Mama told us [Eb] we were good kids
[Bb] And daddy told us [Dm] never listen to the [Gm] ones
Pointing [Dm] at the fingers and making [Gm] fun
Cause we were good [F] kids
[Gm] I know [C] which place [E] I'm from
[Eb] I know [Bb] my home
[Gm] When I'm [C] in doubt and struggling
[Eb] [Bb] That's where I go
An [Gm] old friend can give [E] advice
When [Eb] new friends only know a [Bb] half story
That's [Gm] why I always keep them [C] tight
And why I'm [Eb] okay
I said I'm [D] okay
