Mica Roberts Feat. Toby Keith Things A Mama Don't Know lyrics

I threw my bags in his back seat
Gave my mom a kiss on the cheek
Said, "Don't worry 'bout me I'll be fine"
My mama never liked him much
Always thought he was kinda rough
And nothin' in this world could change a girl's mind
No use tryin'

Mom, he's a real go-getter, love hasn't ever felt better
You won't believe all the things he's promisin' me
California, that's where we're goin'
He swears he can make a fortune
I know you don't think I should go
There's some things a mama don't know

The money ran out in Vegas
She's an all-night diner waitress
She'll do anything just to get by
The hardest work he's done on his big career's a
Fifth 'a whiskey and a case of beer
When I talk to mama I lie, I've got my pride


Mom, he's a real go-getter, love hasn't ever felt better
You won't believe all the things he's promisin' me
California, that's where we're goin'
He swears he can make a fortune
Hope my voice don't let my secret show
Still some things a mama don't know

Like wakin' up to broken dreams every day
Like knowin' there's a little one on the way
Like believin' that someone you love can change
Like hidin' the bruises on my face
Just for everyone else's sake

But mom, he's a real go-getter, love hasn't ever felt better
You won't believe all the things he's promisin' me
California, that's where we're goin'
He swears he can make a fortune
Mama says, 'Baby, you can come back home'
But there's some things a mama don't know
