VERSE Well Robbie's got a brand new girlfriend. She's got a scr i pt for pills. These here man they're the good ones. Counting those ten dollar bills. VERSE What Mama don't know won't hurt her. That's what he'd always say. He's going down to Bossier City. Gonna drink his cares away. SOLO VERSE He's got a thousand dollars. That's more than the saw mills paying. Lucy she's at her mamas. But he'll lose it all today VERSE He's got a thousand dollars. That's just some gasoline. You know that boy well he can gamble. Like you ain't never seen. What Mama don't know won't hurt her. That's what he'd always say. He's going down to Bossier City. Gonna drink his cares away. SOLO VERSE He's pulling down on that lever. Like he's got cash to burn. Barely too proud to beg. I guess that boy will never learn. VERSE He's driving back home on sunday. Praying he don't get killed. You know that Lucy's kinda crazy. When she ain't got her pills. What Mama don't know won't hurt her. That's what he'd always say. He's going down to Bossier City. Gonna drink his cares away. SOLO What Mama don't know won't hurt her. That's what he'd always say. He's going down to Bossier City. Gonna drink his cares away.
