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      Yeah, 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      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      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   Mama knows the highway now by heart   Mama knows the highway now by heart      Mama knows the highway   Yeah, yeah, yeah
