Blame It on Mama

The Jenkins Blame It on Mama Lyrics
1.Blame it on Mama

When I was six or seven
Mama tucked me in
With a lullaby that made my eyes open wide again
I'd lie awake and wonder
Why a boy named Billy Joe
Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
To the river far below

Blame it on mama and the songs she loved to sing
I'm not from Louisiana but that don't mean a thing
Don't come from Alabama or heir from Tennessee
Just blame it on mama she sang the country into me

I just loved to listen
As she sang those story songs
Bout a coat of many colors
Or a girl named Delta Dawn
When the lights went out in Georgia
I'd beg for just one more
All about Fancy and the pretty red satin dancing dress she wore

Blame it on mama and the songs she loved to sing
I'm not from Louisiana but that don't mean a thing
Don't come from Alabama or heir from Tennessee
Just blame it on mama she sang the country into me

I'm a coal miner's daughter
lovin that preacher's son
I have walked the streets of Laredo
Stared down the barrel of a law mans gun

I've grown roots and I've got ties
To places I've never been
And when I sing those songs it takes me
Right back home again

Blame it on mama and the songs she loved to sing
I'm not from Louisiana but that don't mean a thing
Don't come from Alabama or heir from Tennessee
Just blame it on mama she sang the country into me
The country into me


2.Getaway Car

Lyricist:Gary Haase, Billy Mann

Remembering when we first met, we had that adventure in our eyes
But something got away, I guess in the everyday of our lives
And I don't know what keeps us here
Let's disappear and start all over again

We can run away, baby come as you are
You can look at my heart as your getaway car
We can drive all night, it will be alright
Love can take us so far in your getaway car, oh yeah

All we need is the open road and more fuel for the fire inside
us
Steer us on to lands unknown and we can leave this world behind
And all I know is you and me
That's all we'll need to start all over again

We can run away, baby come as you are
You can look at my heart as your getaway car
We can drive all night, it will be alright
Love can take us so far in your getaway car

Turn up the radio
(Radio)
Don't look back again
(No)
Let me put the pedal down, get us out of this town
Don't be afraid to ride, oh baby

We can run away, baby come as you are
You can look at my heart as your getaway car
We can drive all night, it will be alright
Love can take us so far in your getaway car

We can run away, baby
You can look at my heart as your getaway car
All we need is the open road, c'mon
C'mon baby, let's go now, now, yeah, baby
You can use my heart as your getaway car
