Take one last look in that
Rear view on your way
Outta that stick around town you're
About to leave behind
And go get lost to find yourself
Don't be afraid to go and have
Yourself the craziest of times
Make some new friends
Be someone you've never been
But every now and then
Call your mama
Sit and listen to her small town drama
And get you all caught up on
All your sisters and your brothers
Boy, listen to your mother
'Cause you ain't ever gonna get another
Someone you get to call your mama, yeah
One of these days on down the road
You're gonna find
You a strong willed girl with
A gentle heart like hers
And don't forget to call her dad
'fore you buy that ring
And if they both say yes
Then first things first
Call your mama
Sit and listen to her small town drama
And get you all caught up on
All your sisters and your brothers
Boy, listen to your mother
'Cause you ain't ever gonna get another
Someone you get to call your mama
And do it while you can
Even when you don't wanna
'Cause there's gonna come a day
The good Lord's gonna call your mama
Mmm, he's gonna call your mama
Yeah, pick up the phone boy
You better call your mama
Sit and listen to her small town drama
Get you all caught up on all
Your sisters and your brothers
Oh, tell her that you love her
'Cause you ain't ever gonna get another
So call your mama
Mmm, you better call your mama
Rear view on your way
Outta that stick around town you're
About to leave behind
And go get lost to find yourself
Don't be afraid to go and have
Yourself the craziest of times
Make some new friends
Be someone you've never been
But every now and then
Call your mama
Sit and listen to her small town drama
And get you all caught up on
All your sisters and your brothers
Boy, listen to your mother
'Cause you ain't ever gonna get another
Someone you get to call your mama, yeah
One of these days on down the road
You're gonna find
You a strong willed girl with
A gentle heart like hers
And don't forget to call her dad
'fore you buy that ring
And if they both say yes
Then first things first
Call your mama
Sit and listen to her small town drama
And get you all caught up on
All your sisters and your brothers
Boy, listen to your mother
'Cause you ain't ever gonna get another
Someone you get to call your mama
And do it while you can
Even when you don't wanna
'Cause there's gonna come a day
The good Lord's gonna call your mama
Mmm, he's gonna call your mama
Yeah, pick up the phone boy
You better call your mama
Sit and listen to her small town drama
Get you all caught up on all
Your sisters and your brothers
Oh, tell her that you love her
'Cause you ain't ever gonna get another
So call your mama
Mmm, you better call your mama

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
