about

Commentary on how America raises "men;" they must be tough, strong and emotionally reserved, and how this mentality is unnatural and heartbreaking. A young man goes away with the army and has trouble coping with the death of his mother because he never learned how to deal with his emotions.

lyrics

Mama told me hold your head up high. Most importantly keep your eye on the prize.
Whether thick or thin don’t let ‘em smell your fear, and everything you know, hold it so dear

Be a good son. Good boys don’t lie. Yeah be a good son. Good boys don’t cry.. they don’t cry.

You’re going off now to fight for your rights. You make damn sure you come back alive.
Don’t ever show the fear in your eyes, they can see it a hundred miles away.

Be a good son. Good boys don’t lie. Yeah be a good son. Good boys don’t cry.

Mama’s getting sick, sicker every day. It’s getting hard to breathe when she’s losing her strength.
Mama’s getting weak, weaker every day. It’s getting hard to see when everything fades to gray.

Be a good son. Good boys don’t lie. Yeah be a good son. Good boys don’t cry.
Yeah he’s a good son and good boys don’t lie. He’s a good son and good boys don’t cry.

Mama told me to keep my head up high. Mama didn’t tell me what to do when she dies
but I’m a good son and good boys don’t lie. Yeah I’m a good son and good boys don’t cry.....
