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 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

Repeat Chorus

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

Repeat Chorus

Oh mama come quick

I need your lovin' touch

Yeah mama come quick

I need your lovin' touch
