lyrics

Dusty dashboard
With all my trinkets
From years of wandering around
You took one look
And you shook your head
Will I ever be found?

But we weren’t always on this road
Butting heads like billy goats
Storming away, I flip on the dial
Now I’m fighting my smile

Chorus:
Mama, they’re playing your favorite song
Reviving an oldie on the radio
They don’t sing it quite the way you did
But I still feel it like a little kid
Snuggled up into your lullaby
Believing that I’m the apple of your eye
Mama—yeah
Mama—yeah
They’re playing our song——

It’s been so long now
Should I be bringing
My pitter patter to your door?
I’m hoping to find
You’ll change your mind
And I’ll still be yours

Cause we weren’t always so down low
Momma, I know the ways you helped me grow
As I’m up through the night, trying to get it right
I need a battle cry

Chorus:
Mama, they’re playing your favorite song
Reviving an oldie on the radio
They don’t sing it quite the way you did
But I still feel it like a little kid
Snuggled up into your lullaby
Believing that I’m the apple of your eye
Mama—yeah
Mama—yeah
They’re playing our song——

Bridge:
They’re playing our song---
Mama, Mama, oh, where did we go wrong?
Mama, Mama, ah ah
Mama, Mama ah ah ah

But we weren’t always on this road
Butting heads like billy goats
Driving away, I flip on the dial
Now I’m fighting my smile

Chorus:
Mama, they’re playing your favorite song
Reviving an oldie on the radio
They don’t sing it quite the way you did
But I still feel it like a little kid
Snuggled up into your lullaby
Believing that I’m the apple of your eye
Mama—yeah
Mama—yeah
They’re playing our song——

about

Kelli Caldwell Portland, Oregon

With her distinct vibrato, Caldwell’s sound is very unique. Though compared to that of Alanis Morrisette, Gigi Love, or “a cross between Tracy Chapman and Nancy Griffith,” her voice and style are all her own. But it’s the lyric, the storytelling that drives her…“I love trying to settle into someone else’s soul for awhile, trying to tell their story honestly.” ... more
