This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I remember when I was five
Runnin’ round, happy just to be alive
I’d cry whenever you left
Thought you weren’t coming back
See, Daddy wasn’t there
I remember when I was ten
Hiding in the kitchen just to hear you sing
You’d smile when I sang along
Belting out the new Al Green song
I’m so thankful God sent me to you
Times were tough but you pulled us right through
And I think about you every day, every day
And, Momma, straight from my heart
I wanna thank you
I remember when I was sixteen
Dodging trouble, chasing dreams
You were there to cheer me on
Pick me up when everything went wrong
I’m so thankful God sent me to you
Times were tough but you pulled us right through
And I think about you every day, every day
And, Momma, straight from my heart
I wanna thank you
Here I am a man all grown
Settled down, got some kids of my own
Sometimes I remind me of you
Puts a smile on my face when I do
I’m so thankful God sent me to you
Times were tough but you pulled us right through
And I think about you every day, every day
And, Momma, straight from my heart
I wanna thank you
And, Momma, straight from my heart
I wanna thank you
Thank you, thank you, Momma
Runnin’ round, happy just to be alive
I’d cry whenever you left
Thought you weren’t coming back
See, Daddy wasn’t there
I remember when I was ten
Hiding in the kitchen just to hear you sing
You’d smile when I sang along
Belting out the new Al Green song
I’m so thankful God sent me to you
Times were tough but you pulled us right through
And I think about you every day, every day
And, Momma, straight from my heart
I wanna thank you
I remember when I was sixteen
Dodging trouble, chasing dreams
You were there to cheer me on
Pick me up when everything went wrong
I’m so thankful God sent me to you
Times were tough but you pulled us right through
And I think about you every day, every day
And, Momma, straight from my heart
I wanna thank you
Here I am a man all grown
Settled down, got some kids of my own
Sometimes I remind me of you
Puts a smile on my face when I do
I’m so thankful God sent me to you
Times were tough but you pulled us right through
And I think about you every day, every day
And, Momma, straight from my heart
I wanna thank you
And, Momma, straight from my heart
I wanna thank you
Thank you, thank you, Momma

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
