Toby Keith - Things a Mama Don't Know lyrics

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 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 (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 'a whiskey and a case of beer When I talk to mama I lie I've got my pride Chorus 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 Still some things a mama don't know 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 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 (Hmmm) hmmm
