Mama Come Quick Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I straddled my bicycle when I was ten years old
I rode it up on Maxwell Hill where all the big boys go
Way down at the bottom, there's a creek bed six feet wide
If you peddle fast enough, you can make the other side

[Chorus]
Mama come quick, I think I fell and hurt myself again
Mama come quick, you know too well
How much I still depend on you
Pickin' me up and dustin' me off and sendin' me on my way
'Cause nothing heals as much as your loving touch

[Verse 2]
I fell in love for the first time when I was almost grown
I heard that love could hurt real bad, though I had not been shown
Everybody told me she would only break my heart
But I wouldn't listen to them 'cause I was way too smart

[Chorus]
Mama come quick, I think I fell and hurt myself again
Mama come quick, you know too well
How much I still depend on you
Pickin' me up and dustin' me off and sendin' me on my way
'Cause nothing heals as much as your loving touch
[Bridge]
Yeah, daddies teach us how to ride
How to catch and throw
But when things don't go the way they should
A boy knows where to go

[Chorus]
Mama come quick, I think I fell and hurt myself again
Mama come quick, you know too well
How much I still depend on you
Pickin' me up and dustin' me off and sendin' me on my way
'Cause nothing heals as much as your loving touch

[Outro]
Oh, mama come quick
I need your loving touch
Yeah, mama come quick
I need your loving touch

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
