Mama Smoked Cigarettes

It was Evil Knievel, Neil and Stretch Armstrong

You needed a needle to play your favorite songs

It was Aerosmith and Andy Griffith

And Earnhardt's car would go the distance

Different time's not too long ago

But if you knew her now, man, you'd never know

That back before two pink lines she was young and wild and free

She used to be Miss Saturday Night back when I was just a dream

Well, she made it look so easy, so it's easy to forget

That there was a time that Mama smoked cigarettes

Well, it was hair bands and hair spray that could stop and hold up traffic

And a spring break vacation, you had to paper map it

That was back before her blonde turned grey

It was a Camel Light and a Zippo flame

Shotgun in my dad's jet black Trans-Am

It was right there in her left hand

That back before two pink lines, she was young and wild and free

She used to be Miss Saturday Night back when I was just a dream

Well, she made it look so easy so it's easy to forget

That there was a time when Mama smoked cigarettes

The day that she found mine, it wrecked her world

But I just had to remind her of the girl

Back before two pink lines, she was young and wild and free

She used to be Miss Saturday Night back when I was just a dream

Well, she made it look so easy so it's easy to forget

There was a time when Mama smoked cigarettes
