Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:4th fret
[Chorus]
G C
Mama, Mama, you know how it feels
Em D
Love never knows a season
G D
Mama, tell me you understand
A7 D
The heart always has a reason
[Verse 1]
G C
Doing ninety-five in the middle of the night on an open road
Em D
Time for a good ol' girl like me to be bedded down
C D
Gotta get home before the kids find out I've been away
A7 D
I figure I'm gonna reach town just before dawn
[Verse 2]
G C
I can see the sun is gonna be comin' up real soon
Em D
Hope the children don't wake up and wonder where I am
C D
Gotta get the older ones to school and play with the baby
A7 D
She's the apple of her mother's eye, and doesn't she know it
[Pre-Chorus]
Em A7
Don't know how it happened one more time
Em C
The money's running out and the other kids are crying
D C
Somebody tell me, I'm not crazy
D C Em
Doing what I can to raise my babies
[Chorus]
G C
Mama, Mama, you know how it feels
Em D
Love never knows a season
G D
Mama, tell me you understand
A7 D
The heart always has a reason
[Verse 3]
G C
Wonder if you know just how it feels to be alone
Em D
Trying to raise a bunch of kids on nothing but love and guts
C D
When the day is over I'm about as wrecked as a body can be
A7 D
I got my troubles, but again I need me some kind of loving
[Pre-Chorus]
Em A7
Don't know how it happened one more time
Em C
The money's running out and the other kids are crying
D C
Somebody tell me, I'm not crazy
D C Em
Doing what I can to raise my babies
[Chorus]
G C
Mama, Mama, you know how it feels
Em D
Love never knows a season
G D
Mama, tell me you understand
A7 D
The heart always has a reason
[Verse 4]
G C
The doctor down in Lincoln said I'd be alright
Em D
He said he didn't want to help me, but he'd do it just this once
C D
Made me feel so bad, I couldn't stop the tears from falling
A7 D
Made me wish he had to pay this kind of price for his loving
[Pre-Chorus]
Em A7
Don't know how it happened one more time
Em C
The money's running out and the other kids are crying
D C
Five kids are gonna drive me crazy
D C Em
Lord, I can't have another baby
[Chorus]
G C
Mama, Mama, you know how it feels
Em D
Love never knows a season
G D
Mama, tell me you understand
A7 D
The heart always has a reason
