[Chorus]
G               C
Mama, Mama, you know how it feels

Em                 D
Love never knows a season

G             D
Mama, tell me you understand

    A7                 D
The heart always has a reason
[Verse 1]
G                                                  C
Doing ninety-five in the middle of the night on an open road

Em                                     D
Time for a good ol' girl like me to be bedded down

C                                            D
Gotta get home before the kids find out I've been away

  A7                          D
I figure I'm gonna reach town just before dawn
[Verse 2]
G                                    C
I can see the sun is gonna be comin' up real soon

Em                                         D
Hope the children don't wake up and wonder where I am

C                                      D
Gotta get the older ones to school and play with the baby

A7                                       D
She's the apple of her mother's eye, and doesn't she know it
[Pre-Chorus]
Em                         A7
Don't know how it happened one more time

    Em                          C
The money's running out and the other kids are crying

D                        C
Somebody tell me, I'm not crazy

D            C               Em
Doing what I can to raise my babies
[Chorus]
G               C
Mama, Mama, you know how it feels

Em                 D
Love never knows a season

G             D
Mama, tell me you understand

    A7                 D
The heart always has a reason
[Verse 3]
G                                    C
Wonder if you know just how it feels to be alone

Em                                             D
Trying to raise a bunch of kids on nothing but love and guts

C                                              D
When the day is over I'm about as wrecked as a body can be

  A7                                   D
I got my troubles, but again I need me some kind of loving
[Pre-Chorus]
Em                         A7
Don't know how it happened one more time

    Em                          C
The money's running out and the other kids are crying

D                        C
Somebody tell me, I'm not crazy

D            C               Em
Doing what I can to raise my babies
[Chorus]
G               C
Mama, Mama, you know how it feels

Em                 D
Love never knows a season

G             D
Mama, tell me you understand

    A7                 D
The heart always has a reason
[Verse 4]
    G                               C
The doctor down in Lincoln said I'd be alright

   Em                                             D
He said he didn't want to help me, but he'd do it just this once

C                                        D
Made me feel so bad, I couldn't stop the tears from falling

A7                                      D
Made me wish he had to pay this kind of price for his loving
[Pre-Chorus]
Em                         A7
Don't know how it happened one more time

    Em                          C
The money's running out and the other kids are crying

D                            C
Five kids are gonna drive me crazy

D             C            Em
Lord, I can't have another baby
[Chorus]
G               C
Mama, Mama, you know how it feels

Em                 D
Love never knows a season

G             D
Mama, tell me you understand

    A7                 D
The heart always has a reason
