"Mother May I" lyrics

Mother may I
Oh, mother may I
I wanna go outside tonight
Tell me it's alright
Mother may I

Mommy, just listen
Something in the wind keeps calling me
And I'm old enough now to answer
I want everything that's mine
Give it all to me

I need your, your blessing
'Cause your baby was born to be out of control
It'll help me make it home safely
But I'm still not sure, if I wanna live to be old
Oh

Mother may I
Oh, mother may I
I wanna go outside tonight
Tell me it's alright
Mother may I

Now mommy, I know you're watching
I've been a good boy, I'll never bring you shame
I'll never know all your secrets
But it's impossible for us not to be the same

Now I've got one chance, y'all
To do whatever it is I'm supposed to do
When you think I'm ready
Please make sure that I come back home with you, oh

Mother may I
Oh, mother may I
I wanna go outside tonight
Tell me it's alright
Mother may I

Mother may I
Oh, mother may I
Say I wanna be alive tonight
Tell me it's alright
Mother may I

One way you can show you really love me
Just to let me go
But make sure that you tell my heavenly father
I said hello

Mother may I
Oh, mother may I
I wanna go outside tonight
Tell me it's alright
Mother may I

Mother may I
Oh, mother may I
Say I wanna be alive tonight
Tell me it's alright
Mother may I
