MAMA DROVE THE GETAWAY CAR
(Lyrics/Music by Gwen Holt)(ASCAP, April 11 Music)

Well Daddy was a deadbeat when it came to cash
So me and my sis broke in and stole his stash
Sis and I ran hard but never had to run far
Cuz Mama, Mama, Mama drove the getaway car

Chorus:
I said Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama drove the getaway car
I said Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama drove the getaway car

Well up to last week I was sittin’ jail
Tryin’ not to cry because they couldn’t post bail
Starin’ out the window at a fallin’ star
When through the wall came Mama in the getaway car

[Repeat Chorus]

Now Mama she’s retired but she’s getting’ on her groove
She got a hot rod chopper, got a wrinkled rose tattoo
She drives a custom-made Camero – corners like a dream
The boys in blue can’t catch her in her lean, mean machine

[Repeat Chorus]
