Thunderhead - What Mama Don't Know lyrics

Little Tommy, he was runnin' home from school Had a look of love, almost like a fool Sittin' in his room heart steaming like a train Waitin' for his dad to help him save the day He's found a girl, the first one in his life Needs advise, daddy's always right Here comes the car, now he's seeing stars Guess who's gonna get a shock Could put him behind bars What mama don't know Won't hurt her, hurt her What mama don't know Won't hurt her Probably thinkin' what's mama got to do With the story Tommy told To daddy's payback news Papa fooled around, in his younger days Now Tommy's brand new love, is sister Mary Jane Tears runnin' down this heartbroken face Daddy tries, tries to ease the pain Says "Tommy listen up to what I've got to say Don't let your mother know, or hell is on its way" What mama don't know Won't hurt her, hurt her What mama don't know Won't hurt her Tears runnin' down this heartbroken face He's gonna pack, and leave this place Now mama knows It hurt her, hurt her Now mama knows It hurt her Now mama knows It hurt her, hurt her Now mama knows
