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

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


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

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


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


Oh mama come quick
I need your lovin' touch
Yeah mama come quick

I need your lovin' touch
