Disclaimer: NOT MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song is "Fore She Was Momma"
One while Luke was closing the diner, Jess was in the closet for who knows what reason, and then this box fell at his feet and a picture fell out of it. It had this old time tint to it, he could tell it was back from the late 70's, early 80's. There was a woman in the picture sitting on a motorcycle, next to some guy, flipping the camera off. The woman looked familar, very young, wild, and crazy.
'Bout ten years old, hide and seek
I found me in the closet
Ready or not I stumbled on
And opened up that box of
Yearbooks, letters, black and whites
A hundred, maybe more
Next thing I know my brothers and me
Got 'em scattered on the floor (Yeah)
There was one of her, flippin' the bird
Sittin' on a Harley
And a few with some hairy hippie dude
Turns out his name was Charlie
Her hair, her clothes, her drinkin' smokin'
Had us boys confused
I'll never forget the day us nosey kids got introduced
Jess just sat down on the floor back against the closet door, he was memorized by this photo, so taken that he didn't even hear Luke come in the apartment. Luke noticed Jess right off, and walked over to him.
"What are you doing?" Luke asked.
"Who's this?" Jess replied.
Luke took a good look at the picture.
"Umm, it looks as if it is your mom with on of her boyfriends. Which one, I'm not sure, but I am positive that that is your mother."
To Mama, 'fore she was Mama
In a string bikini, in Tijuana
Won't admit she smoked marijuana
But I saw Mama, 'fore she was Mama
Jess sat up all night looking at the pictures, finally around 3 AM he put the box back, but kept that one photo of his mom around the age of 16, with that guy, maybe it was his dad, who knows. Luke said it was one of many, never to be sure which one. His mom was never perfect, not by any means was she the typical Donna Reed, but it was going to be even harder to respect her when he knew she was even more uncontrollable than he was.
We put that box right where it was
And never said a word
But growin' up got hard just tryin'
Not to picture her
In anything but aprons, dresses
Mini-vans and church
Oh and Daddy would have whooped our butts
For diggin' up that dirt
On Mama, 'fore she was Mama
In a string bikini, in Tijuana
She won't admit she smoked marijuana
But I saw Mama, 'fore she was Mama
"Uncle Luke..." Jess wanted to know more about his mother, so he went to the source, or the next closest thing.
"It's Luke, just Luke, but what do you want?"
"Can you tell me a little about my mom? I mean if you want."
"Yeah sure, did she ever tell you the time she stole the Doose's Winnebago?"
We laugh and hang it over her head
Right above her halo
Her face turns red when we bring up
That tie-dyed Winnebago
She runs and hides and still denies
That hip high rose tattoo
She burned that box of forget-me-nots
When she found out we knew
About Mama, 'fore she was Mama
In a string bikini, in Tijuana
Won't admit she smoked marijuana
But that was Mama, 'fore she was Mama
"Your mother was a crazy teenage girl and hasn't changed too much, but she is still your mom. She has many stories she could tell you, many I don't even know about, and really don't wish to know."
"Yeah." Jess really didn't know what to say, he never really talked too much with his Uncle, but he wanted to know about his mother. He was also in shock about how wild Liz really was. He knew that she had done some things in her day, but never to such a degree. And he never knew how hard it was on Luke, Luke had to grow up way before it was his time.
"Oh, she ever tell you about the time she..."
And there's that one down in the Bahamas
But that was Mama, 'fore she was Mama
I know it is out of their character, but I still like it, REVIEW!!!!!!!!! REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!
