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



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 lovin' touch



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



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 lovin' touch



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



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 lovin' touch



Oh mama come quick

I need your lovin' touch

Yeah mama come quick

I need your lovin' touch
