My Mother’s Son Lyrics by Johnathan Rice

Trouble Is Real

2004

[Verse 1]
All the Protestant girls
They're all swinging their hips
Fresh coat of red on their lips
In a solar eclipse
I sat on the steps
Church bells rang in my ears
The big blue sky was so clear
When the sun disappeared
[Chorus]
White horses on the highway ride
Under this strange and darker sky
A wind will come and scatter seeds
And it will bury all of these
Well, the children sing across the plains
Their voices rise and quickly fade
[Verse 2]
On a passenger train
Slightly out of my mind
All the women, so kind
Sending chills down my spine
I fell into sleep
And in that sleep, I did dream
That I was torn at the seams
I don't know what it means
[Chorus]
Well, inside of mama, baby kicks
Well, this house is made of stone and sticks
And all these things can break my bones
But everyone must run alone
So, I run all night with bursting lungs
I will always be my mother's son
Yeah, I will always be my mother's son
Yeah, and I ain't no different from anyone
[Verse 3]
Traffic and stadium lights
That's the view from the sky
Where that old black bird flies
How I wish I could fly
What will we become
When we sleep in the dirt
Who will rise up first
One can never be sure
