'Fore She Was Mama Lyrics


Bout ten years old, hide and seek
I found me in the closet
Ready or not I stumbled on
And opened up that box ofYearbooks, letters, black and whites
A hundred, maybe more
Next thing I know my brothers and me
Got em scattered on the floor, yeahIt was one of her, flippin the bird
Sittin on a Harley
And a few with some hairy hippie dude
Turns out his name was CharlieHer hair, her clothes, her drinkin, smokin
Had us boys confused
Ill never forget the day
Us nosy kids got introducedTo mama 'fore she was mama
In a string bikini in Tijuana
Wont admit she smoked marijuana
But I saw mama 'fore she was mamaWe put that box right where it was
And never said a word
But growin up got hard just tryin

Not to picture herIn anything but aprons, dresses
Mini-vans and church
Oh and daddy would have whooped our butts
For diggin up that dirtOn mama 'fore she was mama
In a string bikini in Tijuana
She wont admit she smoked marijuana
But I saw mama 'fore she was mamaWe laugh and hang it over her head
Right above her halo
Her face turns red when we bring up
That tie-dyed WinnebagoShe runs and hides and still denies
That hip high rose tattoo
She burned that box of forget-me-nots
When she found out we knewAbout mama 'fore she was mama
In a string bikini in Tijuana
Wont admit she smoked marijuana
But that was mama 'fore she was mamaAnd theres that one down in the Bahamas
Oh, but that was mama 'fore she was mamaYeah, caught her red handed

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
With his first two singles reaching number one upon their release, Clay Walker immediately established himself as a commercial success. Unlike most of his new country contemporaries of the mid-'90s, he was able to sustain that success over a couple of years, racking up no less than five number one singles in the first three years of his career.

Clay Walker (born August 19, 1969) was born and raised on a farm in Beaumont, TX, the hometown of George Jones. Walker fell in love with country music at an early age, when his father gave him a guitar when he was only nine years old. After he graduated from high school, Walker pursued a musical career full-time, playing concerts across the South, the Midwest, and Canada. For over three years, he toured and went to school, taking courses about the music business. During this time, he acted as his own manager. Eventually, he became the house singer at the Neon Armadillo bar in Beaumont. While performing at the club, producer James Stroud heard Walker and offered to work with the singer. Stroud helped Walker secure a contract with Giant Records, and the pair began working on the vocalist's debut album.

"What's It to You" became a number one hit upon its release in August of 1993, with "Live Until I Die" following it into the pole position later that same year. Both singles were featured on his debut album, Clay Walker, which was released in the fall of 1993. "Where Do I Fit in the Picture," the third single from the album, became a number 11 hit in early 1994. "White Palace" was a flop, failing to crack the Top 40, but "Dreaming With My Eyes Open" became his third number one hit in the summer of 1994, helping make his debut record a platinum album. If I Could Make a Living was not quite as successful as his debut, yet it still yielded the number one title track. Hypnotize the Moon, Walker's third album, appeared in the fall of 1995, preceded by the number two single "Who Needs You Baby." He followed with Self Portrait in 1996 and Rumor Has It in 1997. A Greatest Hits collection appeared in 1998 and a new album, Live, Laugh, Love, was released in 1999. Say No More followed two years later.
