Mama Knows (1988)
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 praying we get better before we got home
She saw me coming through the back door screen I knew the minute that she looked at me

Mama knows, mama knows somehow 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

Me and Becky Johnson ankle deep in ocean waves pants rolled up and hearts out on our sleeves
Both feeling more than either one of us could say that first love let the sweetest memory
Fifteen and shy I didn't tell a soul how is that mama never has to be told


Mama knows, mama knows somehow 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

I wasn't home when mama passed away I didn't get to say I love you but I got this feeling

Mama knows, mama knows somehow 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
