Mama's Song
Carrie Underwood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So now you have to let your baby fly
You've given me everything that I will need
To make it through this crazy thing called life
And I know you watch me grow up
And only want what's best for me
And I think I found the answer
And he is good, so good
He treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps
No he's never gonna leave
So don't you worry about me
Don't you worry about me
Mama there's no way you'll ever lose me
And giving me away is not goodbye
As you watch me walk down to my future,
I hope tears of joy are in your eyes
'Cause he is good, so good
And he treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps
No he's never gonna leave
So don't you worry about me
Don't you worry about me
And when I watch my baby grow up
I'll only want what's best for her
And I hope she'll find the answer to my prayers
And that she'll say
He is good, so good
And he treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps
No he's never gonna leave
So don't you worry about me
Don't you worry about me
Mama don't you worry about me
Don't you worry about me
Carrie Underwood's song "Mama's Song" is an emotional tribute to a mother and daughter relationship as the daughter is about to get married. Carrie Underwood sings about how her mother taught her to do the right things in life, but now she has to let her baby fly. The song embodies the bittersweet feeling of leaving home and making it in the world that many people experience when they move out of their home for the first time.
Underwood's lyrics are full of gratitude for everything her mother has done for her throughout her life. She acknowledges that her mother would only want the best for her and expresses her hope that she has found the answer to her mother's prayers in her fiancé, whom she describes as so good, so good. He treats your little girl like a real man should.
Through her poignant lyrics, Underwood is essentially conveying the message that love is about trust and letting go. A mother's love is perhaps the most selfless and enduring love in the world, and the song reflects the idea that true love knows no boundaries and can extend even to those who are not our blood relatives.

Mama you taught me to do the right things
You taught me values and morals that will guide me through life
So now you have to let your baby fly
Now it's time to let me go and lead my own life
You've given me everything that I will need
You've provided me with everything necessary for my journey
To make it through this crazy thing called life
To navigate through the unpredictable journey of life
And I know you watch me grow up
You've been with me from childhood to adulthood
And only want what's best for me
You always have my best interest in mind
And I think I found the answer to your prayers
I believe I've found the person you've been praying for me
He is good, so good
He's a good person, kind-hearted and loving
He treats your little girl like a real man should
He treats me with love and respect, like a true partner
He makes promises he keeps
He's someone who follows through on his word
No he's never gonna leave
He's committed to staying with me and building a future together
So don't you worry about me
You don't have to worry about my well-being
Mama there's no way you'll ever lose me
No matter where life takes me, you'll always be a part of me
And giving me away is not goodbye
Getting married and leaving home doesn't mean we're saying goodbye forever
As you watch me walk down to my future
As you see me start a new chapter in life
I hope tears of joy are in your eyes
I hope you feel happy and proud of me
And when I watch my baby grow up
And when I become a mother myself
I'll only want what's best for her
I'll strive to provide the best for my own child
And I hope she'll find the answer to my prayers
I hope my child finds someone as good and loving as the man you prayed for me
And that she'll say
And that my child will one day say
He is good, so good
That her partner is a good person, just like mine
And he treats your little girl like a real man should
That he treats her with the respect and love she deserves
He makes promises he keeps
That he's someone who follows through on his word
No he's never gonna leave
That he's committed to being there for her always
So don't you worry about me
You don't have to worry about my future, or my child's future
Don't you worry about me
Don't fret or feel anxious about me

I'm going to play this song on my wedding someday for my mom. My dad abandoned me when I was small and my mom brought me up and did a lot of things for me which I can't explain :) shes both my mom and dad and I really appreciate all the things she has done for me. Love you mom!! <3
@lilianmiramontesjr.7550
I'm going to do the same thing, since I'm in a similar situation to you. I'm going to dance this with my mom at my wedding.
@gioelperromendoza
Just make sure to tell her every single day that you love her and that you appreciate it what she has done for you cause when you don't have her anymore is too late that's what I regret the most not being able to tell my mom how much I love her when she was alive now is just too late 😢
@lilianmiramontesjr.7550
Selvin Mendoza Yeah, me and my mom have arguments and we say harsh things to each other some times but I know I couldn't live without her. My whole life would fall apart. She's my rock.
@sydneywu1988
Lilian Miramontes, Jr. Tell your mom exactly how you feel....wish you have a happy weekend with your mom!
