Ever since I can remember when
Mama always raised us right
She got up early to go to work
And didn't come home 'til late at night
In the day she worked at the diner
With her skirt hiked up real high
Trying to earn some extra tips
So we could all at least get by
Raising five kids alone
There ain't no simple trick
After working at the diner
She headed to the truck stop
On Route 66
My mama was a
Lot lizard
Oh Lord she had the skills
My mama was a
Lot lizard
The only way to pay the bills
I'd like to think she showed those truckers
Some loving along the way
My mama was a
Lot lizard
And I'm thankful to this very day
Daddy left us high and dry
About two or three years back
But mama always gave us love
It's just money that we lacked
So mama had to get a second job
And that was a stone cold fact
So while she jumped from truck to truck
I sat home and babysat
I didn't understand it then
But I sure understand it now
Mama wasn't proud of what she was doing
But she did it anyhow
My mama was a
Lot lizard
Oh, Lord she had the skills
My mama was a
Lot lizard
The only way to pay the bills
I'd like to think she showed those truckers
Some loving along the way
My mama was a
Lot lizard
And I'm thankful to this very day
With all that hard work
She never spent the money on herself
And she was the first one to give
If anybody needed some help
And there's not much else
For me to say
I know without her I wouldn't be
Where I am today
My mama was a
Lot lizard
Oh Lord she had the skills
My mama was a
Lot lizard
The only way to pay the bills
I'd like to think she showed those truckers
Some loving along the way
My mama was a
Lot lizard
And I love her to this very day
My mama was a
Lot lizard
And she still is...
Oooh, to this very day!
