Lyrics

Sweet Life

Mama can you hear me

Mama can you hear me

I'm going to be a farmer

Plowing the fields in the morning sun

I'll have a million horses

Take me a ride when the work is done

I'm going to have a sweet life

Sweetest life you ever seen

And when the day is over

Going to go to sleep in the field of green

Mama can you hear me

Mama can you hear me

Daddy do you know what I mean

Mama can you hear me

Mama can you hear me

Daddy do you know what I mean

Going to be a actor

Playing a part in a light of gold

Oh yes I will

I'm going to make a lot of money

Going to spend it all before I get to old

And I'm going to have a sweet life

Sweetest life you ever seen

And you know when the day is over now

I'm going to go to sleep in a field of green

Mama can you hear me

Mama can you hear me

Daddy do you know what I mean

(repeat)

Got, got to have a sweet life

Got to have a sweet life

Daddy do you know what I mean

Mama can you hear me

Mama can you hear me

Mama can you hear me

Daddy do you know what I mean
