You guys,
we've had such an amazing night tonight.
And it's just getting started.
We're just warming this stage up
for five more incredible acts that we have
at the Big Damn Music Jam at 3rd and Lindsley.
This next song is the very first single
that I ever released as an independent artist.
The saying goes, if you're a country artist,
you need a song about mama.
My mama was a whiskey drinking Catholic school teacher
who liked to ride a motorcycle.
And this song's about her.
It's called Mama Only Knew.
Growing up, it was yes ma'am, no sir.
Ballet classes and perfect homework.
Thank you cons after every birthday.
Sipping my soup the proper way.
She always told me, pretty is as pretty does.
Better believe how I paid attention.
Because that wooden spoon came now and I got crazy.
My mama taught me how to be a lady.
Mama only knew I was lying next to you.
Had a little shot or two of that Tennessee honey Jack in my purse.
She'd always stand and look right up on my borrow chair.
Tossing around my hair.
She'd say, oh my, oh my.
Mama only knew.
Out every ladies,
got a little wild side she brings out.
When the time is just right across the room,
I see those neat, cute baby blues.
It's looking like a perfect cue.
If mama only knew I was lying next to you.
Had a little shot or two of that Tennessee honey Jack in my purse.
She'd always stand and look right up on that borrow chair.
Just tossing around my hair.
She'd say, oh my, oh my.
If mama only knew.
Y'all give it up for this incredible band that got with me tonight.
We got Dwayne Rowe on the keys.
If mama only knew how well that applies to me.
If mama only knew
all the trouble I'm into.
She'd take a little shot or two of that Tennessee honey Jack.
She'd show up a redneck bruise in her motorcycle boots.
Little hot tattoo.
She'd say, oh my,
oh my.
If mama
only knew.
Thank you guys so much.
My name's Leah Chastain.
You're at Joe Kelly's KitKat Music Jam.
