Mama Knows Lyrics

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'd 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
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 Judy Turner 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 left the sweetest memory
Fifteen 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
Didn't get to say I love you
But I've got this feeling

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
