We got Anthony Hamilton in the house tonight
He just came from off tour
He got a little something he wanna say

[Verse 1: Anthony Hamilton]
I know you love me
I can tell by the that you kiss me, tight when you hug me
Took me to school the very first day
You gave me a piece of butterscotch, sent me on my way
I know it's frightening now
I can tell by the pain in your eyes when the rent was late again
Too strong to fold, being on your own
Lord, bless her soul
Mama knows love

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]
Mama knew love like the back roads
Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes (Hey, hey)
Mom, I swear, you'll never have to worry again
(Mama, I swear, you'll never have to worry, no, no)
Mama knew love like the back streets (Mama knew love)
Used to wipe pee just to make the end meet
Mom, I swear, you'll never have to worry again

[Verse 2: Anthony Hamilton]
Up bright and early, scrambled eggs
Swellin' in your 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 wit'cha
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 you, mama"

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]
Mama knew love like the back roads
(See, mama knew love)
Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes (Every day)
Mom, I swear, you'll never have to worry again
(You'll never have to worry again, mom, I love you, yeah, yeah)
Mama knew love like the back streets (Mama knew love)
Used to wipe pee just to make the end meet (Hey, hey, hey, yeah)
Mom, I swear, you'll never have to worry again (No, no, no)

[Bridge: Anthony Hamilton]
Mama knew love (See, mama knew love)
She gave me love (Crazy love)
Crazy love (Crazy love)
So much love (Mama knew love)
Mama knew love (Crazy love)
She gave me love (She gave me)
Crazy love (She gave me, gave me everything)
So much love (Mama)

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]
Mama knew love like the back roads
Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes
Mom, I swear, you'll never have to worry again
(I swear, mama don't have to worry)
Mama knew love like the back streets
Used to wipe pee just to make the end meet
Mom, I swear, you'll never have to worry again (Never, never)
Mama knew love like the back roads
Used to fall asleep daily in her work clothes (Mama knew love)
Mom, I swear, you'll never have to worry again
(She gave me love)
Mama knew love like the back streets
Used to wipe pee just to make the end meet (Gave me lovin')
Mom, I swear, you'll never have to worry again

[Outro: Anthony Hamilton]
Crazy love, crazy love, crazy love
