Mama Knows

[Verse 1] Me and Jimmy Crowder and a single cigarette Crouched down in a stall out in the barn Three puffs later we were sick as we could get Prayin' we'd get better before we got home She saw me comin' through the back door screen I knew the minute that she looked at me [Chorus] Mama knows, Mama knows Sometimes I think she's got a window to my soul Mama knows, Mama knows Even when I think it doesn't show Mama knows [Verse 2] Me and Becky Johnson ankle deep in ocean waves Pants rolled up and hearts out on our sleeves Both needin' more than either one of us could say That first love left the sweetest memory Fifteen and shy, I didn't tell a soul How is it Mama never has to be told? [Chorus] Mama knows, Mama knows Sometimes I think she's got a window to my soul Mama knows, Mama knows Even when I think it doesn't show Mama knows [Bridge] I wasn't home when Mama passed away I didn't get to say, "I love you" But I've got this feelin' [Chorus] Mama knows, Mama knows Sometimes I think she's got a window to my soul Mama knows, Mama knows Even when I think it doesn't show Mama knows, Mama knows
