[Verse 1]
Some boys will buy you roses
'Cause they wanna steal a kiss
But a man will pick you flowers
'Cause he knows what true love is
And some girls will spit some evil
'Cause the hell they're going through
But you can't stop that small town rumor
Once it makes its way to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah all them words are burned in my brain
Truth is mama knows a whole bunch of things

[Chorus]
She's a shoulder when I'm crying
Sees right through me when I'm lying
She'll sit with me in silence
When my head and heart's a mess
Says "Life is short, go on and live it
Be the first to give forgiveness"
She's got a bible's worth of wisdom
When I start to second guess
Thank God that mama knows best

[Verse 2]
When you're looking in the mirror
See somebody you're proud of
'Cause pretty ain't a picture
Pretty is as pretty does
And when you're out there on your own
Chasing down your wildest dreams
Close your eyes, cross your fingers
Fold your hands and hit your knees

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah all them words are burned in my brain
Truth is mama knows a whole bunch of things

[Chorus]
She's a shoulder when I'm crying
Sees right through me when I'm lying
She'll sit with me in silence
When my head and heart's a mess
Says "Life is short, go on and live it
Be the first to give forgiveness"
She's got a bible's worth of wisdom
When I start to second guess
Thank God that mama knows best

[Chorus]
She's a shoulder when I'm crying
Sees right through me when I'm lying
She'll sit with me in silence
When my head and heart's a mess
Says "Life is short, go on and live it
Be the first to give forgiveness"
She's got a bible's worth of wisdom
When I start to second guess
Yeah even daddy says
That mama knows best
[Outro]
Love you to the moon and back
