Aerosmith - Mama Kin Lyrics






It ain't easy, livin' like a gypsy
Tell ya, honey, how I feel
I've been dreaming
Floatin' downstream and
Losin' touch with all that's real
Whole earth lover, keepin' undercover
Never knowin' where ya been
You been fadin', always out paradin'
Keep in touch with Mama Kin

Well, you've always got your tail on the wag
Shootin' fire from your mouth just like a dragon
You act like a perpetual drag
You better check it out
'Cause someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon

It ain't easy, livin' like you wanna
And it's so hard to find piece of mind, yes it is
The way I see it, you've got to say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

Said you're as bald as an egg at eighteen
And workin' for you dad is just a drag, man
He still stuffs your mouth with your dreams
You better check it out
'Cause someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon

Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

It ain't easy, livin' like ya wanna
And it's so hard to find piece of mind, yes it is
The way I see it, you've got to say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

Said you're as bald as an egg at eighteen
And workin' for your dad is just a drag, man
He still stuffs your mouth with your dreams
You better check it out
'Cause someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon

Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

Keep in touch with Mama Kin
I said I tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

  3. L.... B....

    Wow I wouldn’t pick that as Steven Tyler. Shit his voice changed. I grew up with the Guns n Roses song so I didn’t even know it was a cover.

  4. E.... M....

    I've seen Aerosmith at least six times in concert, when they stopped opening up with back in the saddle it went downhill

  5. r.... w....

    well spent $$

  6. D.... O....

    You can smoke tea? I gotta bunch of Tetley bags in the kitchen :)

  7. C.... H....

    It's funny how the New York Dolls sounded so 'Alive' compared to this! Musta been that Thunders/Nolan were SO much better!

  8. H.... t....

    Saw them last month. If they are on your bucket list check them out in Vegas. Great show!

  9. C.... H....

    In my opinion this is Aerosmith’s greatest song

  10. R.... K....

    Oh Hell Yeah! 👍👍👍👍

    First time I heard this. The Aerosmith sound is definitely there .even the first hit. Cool ass shit. Why don't the radio stations ever play this. It's relic Aerosmith. My big ten inch. Did looks like a lady. Same sound. It's just very much them. It kinda defines the bands roots. Saw them live at the Hollywood bowl. Kid rock opened. I stayed by the confess stands and smoked pot until they came out. Good old illegal Humboldt county.

  13. A.... A....

    Way before they turned into a pop radio friendly hit making machine.

    A.... A....

    Yes. Areosmiith before the 80's when they were rock.

  14. J.... J....

  15. O.... M....

    Guns N Roses has Influency!

  16. J.... L....

  17. M.... A....

    Sleepin late and smokin tea!

  18. J.... V....

    Aerosmith music is great workout music!

  19. J.... D....

    This, their debut album, and Toys in the Attic will always be there very best.

  20. T.... M....

    It ain't easy livin' like a gypsy

    It ain't easy livin' like you wanna
    Now it's so hard to find peace of mind, yes it is

  21. V.... d....

    This song has a strong soundtrack. Amazing.

  22. p.... ....

    I understand how some people want the same old stuff over and over again - they think it’s the best - but artists want to do more than repeat. They often wanna grow. Your desire for them to stay the same is corporate, McDonald’s whooie.

  23. K.... T....

    1973 my senior year in high school. Rock and Roll till ye bleed.
    Sleeping late and smoking T.

  24. R.... B....

    American pickers brought me here

  25. P.... R....

    Pop around the clock

  26. G.... K....

    Aerosmith's Top 5 Songs:
    1) Movin' Out
    2) No More No More
    3) Seasons of Wither
    4) Mama Kin
    5) Combination

  27. Y.... O....

    American Pickers Brought me here with the Missing Van and them speaking of the Man on the mural at 2:10

  28. M.... H....

    Back when the boys kicked ASS

  29. r.... ....

    Been listening the GnR cover of this. Didn't even know it was Aerosmith piece... :P

  30. B.... H....

    King Solomon said, "A murderer goes down to the pit, and let no one stop him."

  31. B.... H....

    I ask God to deliver loving messages to my dear sweet mother who is in heaven. She always had my back. When she died everything went all to shit for a while, until God killed off my brother who was devoted to Satan. I think he murdered my mother. Jesus is my omnipotent Father God, though. He takes good care of orphans like me.

  32. b.... ....

    Is this about john butlers wife?

  33. S.... M....

    This song/album for me is all about my teenage years growing up in the midwest. Back in the mid 70's, riding around around with my friends getting high, playing lead guitar in a rock band and raising hell.

  34. K.... M....

    Anybody else wear out the vinyl playing Aerosmith's debut album during the 1970s? Still have the original stored away in the basement; it has seen better days.

    K.... M....

    He'll yes

  35. P.... D....

    Mamaki tu também

  36. M.... M....

    It's so hard to find peace of mind- Oh yes it is!

  37. N.... U....

    YEAH , hope all is well

    N.... U....

    LIFE is short live it. To new adventures. God bless all

  38. O.... G....

    too many ads

  39. S.... T....

    It's a cool gender. Around here shhhh it sure ain't me though

  40. S.... T....

    Is that t a three layers tranquilizer just wondered

  41. S.... T....

    I like the dance to the right any way it's cool

  42. S.... T....

    I like the dance to the right any way it's cool

  43. T.... R....

    Best hard hitting rock and roll I ever heard back then and even now in 2019. Still feel the goosebumps and get light headed when I hear it.

    T.... R....

    Might want to see a doctor

    T.... R....

    @Tyler Ellery funny but if I did that then they will only try to make me like everyone else and I choose not to be an assho!e.

  44. d.... ....

    I think of this song and laugh every time I hear a story in the news about a junkie mom losing or abandoning her kid. LOL

  45. M.... B....

    selfishly, I wish Aerosmith still used drugs.  They rocked hard when they were using.  The new stuff while 'clean' sucks.

  46. T.... T....

    I like the BLACK WIDOWS

    they are @ ...THE VIBES LOCATION EAST ...

    HANGERED & READY

  47. T.... T....

    Aero GHOSTS...

  48. H.... D....

    Man this song literally defines what a good rock anthem should be; catchy and bouncy but not too simple or repetitive, a good deal of rawness but smooth and graceful as well, high passion but also soothing too, in other words: it's perfect!

  49. #.... J....

    ヒカキンのお母さん探してたら出てきた

  50. c.... h....

    First 4 albums on drugs.....after that, not so much

  75. G.... R....

    Fall River LOVES The BAD BOYS FROM BOSTON,

  76. D.... J....

    Contrary to all the druggie heads on the comment section here. I love later Aerosmith songs later than their earlier songs. Songs like Dude Looks Like a Lady, Rag Doll, IDWMAT, Cryin, Crazy, Amazing, What it Takes, Hole in My Soul, Jaded - Those are the best Aerosmith songs in my book, along with some of their early ones such as Dream On, Back in the Saddle, Walk This Way, Chiquita, Toys in the Attic.
    For the record, their best album is the Get a Grip Album, Fav Song: Crazy

  77. J.... P....

    I jived it

  78. T.... R....

    Classic killer cool...

  79. T.... ....

    Best guitar riffs ever !

  80. R.... G....

  81. A.... D....

    Still looks like a lady
    But a menlier one xD

  82. T.... L....

    This is the REAL Aerosmith!!!!

  83. T.... L....
