Hey Mama Lyrics

Lyric discussion by solitas777 

Cover art for Hey Mama lyrics by Mat Kearney

This song is about the love a man feels for a young college girl, who is unsure of her place in life. This song is about the passionate love he feels for her, and he is pleading for her to stay with him, because even though he might have to go, he'll come back because she's his one and only.

My Interpretation

College girl? I thought he said Cherokee girl? Interesting the Cherokee/Tennessee connection though. Hm. Ironic.

well he said he met her at anthropology. I kind of assumed it was a college class...and cherokee eyes...could either be a girl with cherokee anscestry or just the "look" of a cherokee.

Oh, wait...anthropology class, perhaps? Uniquely spelled, "Anthroplogie" as if there are no apologies for her wild ingun heritage.
