IntroGCGG
Mama knows the highway by the songs
GGDD
When she hears a good one, she always sings along
GCGG
She don't ever worry 'bout what's gone
GGDGG
She says, "good country music will never steer you wrong"
GCGG
She talks to the truckers with her lights
GADD
Maybe just a little bit more on Saturday nights
GCGG
She knows a good road to paradise
GDGG
And that's just enough to keep the highway bright

She can tell Wyoming by the wind
GGGDD
She can tell another trucker by the rig that he's in
GCGG

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
