Tucked AwayThe Goo Goo Dolls

Songwriter: Robby Takac

[Verse 1]
Well I saw you once
Then I blew it for the next ten thousand days
Shoulda packed away
I needed to go back and show you
I needed to go back, I know it's wrong
I'll have to get along

[Chorus]
Mama just called and said she's tucked away
Mama just called and said she's tucked away another day
Her mama just called and said she's tucked away
Her mama just called and said she's extra sad today

[Verse 2]
Well I spent the whole day yesterday on cliches about love
Makin' me remember when your pushes became shoves
I wanted to go back and show you
I needed to go back, I know it's wrong
I'll have to get along

[Chorus]
Mama just called and said she's tucked away
Mama just called and said she's tucked away another day
Her mama just called and said she's tucked away
Her mama just called and said she's extra sad today

[Bridge]
Now why'd you go and play my trust
Today's the same as yesterday
And I'm okay
I take a doctor's recommended time to get along
Since you've been gone
I'll get along oh any way at all

[Outro]
Mama just called and said she's tucked away
Mama just called and said she's tucked away another day
Her mama just called and said she's tucked away
Her mama just called said she's tucked away another day
Tucked away
Tucked away
Tucked away
Tucked away

The Goo Goo Dolls

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
