Mama Knows

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
 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
 ♪
 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
 15 and shy, I didn't tell a soul
 How is it mama never has to be told?
 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
 ♪
 I wasn't home when mama passed away
 I didn't get to say, I love you
 But I've got this feelin'
 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
