A lonely mother gazes out of her window Staring at a son that she just can't touch If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much But all the praying just ain't helping At all 'cause he can't seem to keep His self out of trouble So he goes out and he makes his money The best way he knows how Another body laying cold in the gutter, listen to me (chorus) Don't go chasing waterfalls Please stick to the rivers And the lakes that you're used to I know that you're gonna have it your way Or nothing at all But I think you're moving too fast (Repeat)
