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
