Things a Mama Don’t Know

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mica Roberts] 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' [Chorus: Mica Roberts, Mica Roberts & Toby Keith] 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 [Verse 2: Mica Roberts, Toby Keith] 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 of whiskey and a case of beer When I talk to mama, I lie I've got my pride [Chorus: Mica Roberts, Mica Roberts & Toby Keith] 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 There's still some things a mama don't know [Bridge: Mica Roberts] 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 [Chorus: Mica Roberts, Mica Roberts & Toby Keith] 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
