Mama knows the highway by the songs

When she hears a good one, she always sings along

She don't ever worry 'bout what's gone

She says, "good country music will never steer you wrong"

She talks to the truckers with her lights

Maybe just a little bit more on Saturday nights

She knows a good road to paradise

And that's just enough to keep the highway bright

C C G* G*

Yeah, Mama knows the highway now by heart

G - G/F# Em D D

She can see the rain before it starts

Looking clear through a windshield full of stars

G D G* C* G* Em - D

Mama knows the highway now by heart

She can tell Wyoming by the wind

She can tell another trucker by the rig that he's in

She knows how to watch the river bends

She knows where the real South begins

Well, Mama knows the highway now by heart

She can see the rain before it starts

Looking clear through a windshield full of stars

Mama knows the highway now by heart

 

 

C - G/B Am G - D C

She can gauge a cafe just by looking at the sign

Little old places always share the grand design

Mama knows the highway now by heart

She can see the rain before it starts

Looking clear through a windshield full of stars

G D Em* Em*

Mama knows the highway now by heart

G D G* C* G* Em - D

Mama knows the highway now by heart

G* C* G* Em - D

Mama knows the highway, yeah, yeah yeah

G* C* G* Em - D
