Mama my best friend

You were there for the first scraped knees

Now we laugh at the old stories

Two coffee cups on the same porch rail

Talking ’bout life and the ways we failed

Then got back up, you taught me that

Turned every hard day into a laugh

Mama, my best friend

We’ve been growing up together, time and time again

From kitchen dancing, crying, trying to pretend

To movie nights and singing along till the very end

If I had to choose all over again

I’d still pick you, Mama, my best friend

You walk in and the room feels light

Shaking hands, calling names just right

You turn strangers into family

Guess that’s the part that you gave to me

We share a blanket and some old song

You hum the words, I just sing along

Mama, my best friend

We’ve been growing up together, time and time again

From kitchen dancing, crying, trying to pretend

To movie nights and singing along till the very end

If I had to choose all over again

I’d still pick you, Mama, my best friend

One day I’ll tell my kids how

All the good in me, I got it from you somehow

And when they laugh at the same old line

I’ll hear your voice in mine (oh yeah)

Mama, my best friend

We’ve been growing up together, time and time again

From silly jokes to every broken heart you helped me mend

From movie nights and singing along till the very end

If I had to choose all over again

I’d still pick you, Mama, my best friend
