Kearney, Mat - Hey Mama Lyrics

one republic lookin ass

This song takes my breath away on so many levels...every. single. time.

This song drives me insane at work... they play it 10+ times 😂

I always start a phone conversation with mom with Hey, Mama.

This is my song!!!!!

I'm planning to sing it for my mama for her birthday this June shez all I've got and none can take her place love to the moon and back mom................. God's best gift to me ever...............

My wife & I were lucky enough to win a trip to the fabulous Pinehurst, NC, golf & tennis resort. It was part of a national promotion run by Mercedes Benz dealers. Turns out Mat Kearney's dad was there and they lined Mat up as the entertainment for the main dinner to cap off the event. I have to admit I'd heard a few of his songs and liked them, but I didn't know his stuff well at all. He was great, put on a wonderful show with just one accompanist, and stuck around afterward to casually chat with people. Super impressed with his music and personality.

Hey momma

These makes me happy the the black and white calm it down 😞 still love it 😊

Still my favorite

This was my childhood song that I loved and I lost my iPod (no not a touch it was JUST for music) which had this song and after SO MANY YEARS I have found this song again and it is like when I lost this song I lost a Piece of my childhood which I have now regained

Eu amo! ❤️

Hey... Incredible song.

Isn’t this ironic? We’re doing tennis in gym 🎾

Nostalgic

Nothing like a Mat Kearney beat!!! 👍

Love this song so much!

Amazing song. Deserves every view it gets and more

Heard this in an Uber the other night! Didn't know this was his song.

This video was shot in New Orleans,wasn't it ?

Love love love this song!!!

How have I never heard this song before!? It's awesome!

... Singing hey mama, don't want no drama
I know I'm gonna be OK
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
...

You're the best!!!

how many watching this are from the city this was filmed in? :D

I can see it in her Cherokee eyes......fave line ;)

Sophie...

I really love this guy's music. I am not a religious person but I listen to his music all the time because even tho it's about loving God, you can take it anyway that you want. His music could be about loving God, loving yourself, enjoying life, etc. Always holding on and never giving up.

I think they shot this music video in New Orleans... I've never been there, but I've always wanted to go. Love this song; fits right in with everyone dancing in the streets.

that is for sure new orleans.

Oh trust me, you HAVE to go to New Orleans. Love it, the people, the food, the atmosphere! It gets in your blood...don't say I didn't warn you.

@Shawn Cullen and new orleans is basically a mix of los angeles and miami but we have only one million people, slightly less spanish but we still got plenty of spanish people, white people, black people, some asians, some indians, we dont have mountains, we have levees, we have a coastline along the river and along the lake, lake pontchartrain, but its not really a lake, it is connected to the gulf, so i basically call it an ocean, i mean its huge, 44 miles wide and 24 miles long

New Orleans is basically a tropical island huge city with urban nature/forests everywhere, when you are driving in the city on the interstates and you are on a bridge, you see nothing but trees and the occasional highrise, yet they are neighborhoods under those trees, quite amazing, and we have a huge downtown compared to other cities with our population, temperatures rarely go below 30 in winter and rarely above 100, we have a national park on the westbank with lots of trees, we have many palm trees all over the city, we have people growing papaya trees, banana trees, and much more, we are like florida, actually pensacola is 4 hours away, houston is six hours, this is an amazing place, a gift from Jesus and I am happy He put me here, but I got plans to leave as soon as i turn 18. I am dropping out of high school and going to hawaii or something

Mike Christiaan thank you Mike🙂

Can I suggest JR JR - Gone? ^-^ It really helps me and it's such a happy song :D

Mike Christiaan

Yay!!! such a great little tune!!! <3

before we broke up, my ex said this song reminded him of me, and i never looked it up, then after we broke up I finally looked it up and I really miss him ..

My best friend, who died, used to say, ”Mark, even if I don’t feel good, God is good”.  He told me that even though he was dying, he was never happier in his life--always praising God, always talking about God with me.  Only God can do that.  His name was Ron Williams.  I wrote a song about this; Just Click on my channel name above to check it out.  Thanks and God bless.

Amen brother. 

God is great!

which song from ur channel?

woau suppper :)

 I love this line "Ey, lover I don't want no other finger for my ring!"

Super!! 

perfect

<3 I love this <3 -Carmelita

This song is so innocent and cute!

I love Mat! Wears his heart on his sleeve, at live shows and through his music. Real music is so under-appreciated these days.

I am in love his songs:)
