[00:00.00]Fore She Was Mama - Clay Walker
[00:12.82]Bout ten years old  hide and seek
[00:15.74]I found me in the closet
[00:17.65]
[00:18.58]Ready or not I stumbled on
[00:21.45]And opened up that box of
[00:23.77]
[00:24.28]Yearbooks  letters  black and whites
[00:27.08]A hundred  maybe more
[00:28.78]
[00:29.62]Next thing I know my brothers and me
[00:32.68]Got 'em scattered on the floor (Yeah)
[00:37.18]
[00:39.79]There was one of her  flippin' the bird
[00:42.77]Sittin' on a Harley
[00:44.30]
[00:45.18]And a few with some hairy hippie dude
[00:48.20]Turns out his name was Charlie
[00:50.34]
[00:50.97]Her hair  her clothes  her drinkin' smokin'
[00:53.92]Had us boys confused
[00:55.77]
[00:56.64]I'll never forget the day us nosey kids got introduced
[01:02.14]To Mama  fore she was Mama
[01:06.50]
[01:07.01]In a string bikini  in Tijuana
[01:12.49]
[01:13.12]Won't admit she smoked marijuana
[01:18.52]But I saw Mama  fore she was Mama
[01:24.22]
[01:27.49]We put that box right where it was
[01:30.55]And never said a word
[01:32.45]
[01:33.24]But growin' up got hard just tryin'
[01:36.58]Not to picture her
[01:38.25]
[01:38.88]In anything but aprons  dresses
[01:42.03]Mini-vans and church
[01:43.58]
[01:44.50]Oh and Daddy would have whooped our butts
[01:47.64]For diggin' up that dirt
[01:49.61]
[01:50.14]On Mama  'fore she was Mama
[01:55.11]In a string bikini  in Tijuana
[02:00.29]
[02:00.80]She won't admit she smoked marijuana
[02:05.94]
[02:06.56]But I saw Mama  'fore she was Mama
[02:12.35]
[02:24.22]We laugh and hang it over her head
[02:27.29]Right above her halo
[02:29.13]
[02:29.75]Her face turns red when we bring up
[02:32.78]That tie-dyed Winnebago
[02:35.48]She runs and hides and still denies
[02:38.29]That hip high rose tattoo
[02:41.11]She burned that box of forget-me-nots
[02:44.08]When she found out we knew
[02:46.68]About Mama  'fore she was Mama
[02:51.52]In a string bikini  in Tijuana
[02:56.75]
[02:57.37]Won't admit she smoked marijuana
[03:02.29]
[03:03.07]But that was Mama  'fore she was Mama
[03:07.80]
[03:08.75]And there's that one down in the Bahamas
[03:13.62]
[03:14.16]But that was Mama  'fore she was Mama
