Lyric discussion by Stone Free 

Are you sure? Why would Jon tell his mom that life's more than girls?

I think he's giving advice to a friend ("Chin" maybe?) who's going through some hard times. Telling him to get his priorities straight and get a good foundation (God).

I think it's less him telling her, and more her telling him. It's like he's reciting what he has learnt from his mum. The chorus seems like some solid matter of fact motherly advice. :)

But hey it can be read any way you like, the Chin angle works rather well too.
