Lyrics
Mama's Little Man (Jacob's Song)
(c)words and music Colleen Laylon, 2010, BMI
V1
He loves ice cream, pizza and apple pie
playing soccer, football, Call of Duty xbox live
Like a southern gentleman, say's," Yes Sir and No Mam"
looks so grown up in his dress blues and pants
Chorus
Mama's Little Man she loves him can't help but brag
he fights for freedom and she proudly flies our flag
protecting life and liberty she prays he makes it back
A brave American he's Mama's Little Man
V2
He's stole a heart or two with his baby blues
life of the party he'll pull a prank on you
Like an anchor in the sand he'll hold out till the end
and give his final breath standing up for those who can't
Repeat chorus
V3
She remembers him playing with green plastic men
wrestling with his brothers he always had to win
Like the last leaf on a tree he'll hang tough with dignity
always faithful and true in honor of you and me
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
He's living his dream courageously
she's barely facing reality
Repeat Chorus
Tag
A brave American he's Mama's Little Man
he's still Mama's Little Man
