Mama Knew Love

I know you love me I can tell by the way that you kiss me Tight when you hug me Took me to school the very first day Gave me a piece of butterscotch Sent me on my way I know it's frightening I could tell by the pain in your eyes when the rent was late again To strong to fold Being on your own Lord bless her soul, mama knows love [Chorus] Mama knew love like the back roads Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes Mom swear you never have to worry again Mama knew love like the back streets Used to wipe pee just to make the end meet Mom swear you never have to worry again Up bright and early Scrambled eggs Swellin' in ya legs Bills on the bed Still you managed to show me a smile Then walk to work about two or three miles Mom I'm gonna struggle witcha I'm gonna help you see the bigger picture You gave me something no one could take away You made it so easy to say...I love ya mama Mama knew love like the back roads Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes Mom swear you never have to worry again Mama knew love like the back streets Used to wipe pee just to make the ends meet Mom swear you never have to worry again, no no no Mama knew love She gave me love Crazy love So much love Mama knew love She gave me love Crazy love So much love [Chorus: x3]
