Verse 1
Mama held the house when the money ran thin,
Kept the lights on strong with a quiet kind of grit.
Prayed over supper on a beat-up floor,
Said, “Son, the world’s gonna test your core.
It’ll knock you down, try to steal your joy,
But don’t forget who you are, my boy.”
Chorus
I can walk this life and I can walk it alone,
But there’s a place I’m held when the weight gets cold.
Daddy taught me how to stand tall and,how to make my choice.
Mama kept me safe in gentle hands, she raised me up on love and joy.
No matter how far I run or how old I get, ya
I’m a mama’s boy.
Verse 2
Daddy said, “Stand up, don’t back down,
Learn when to fight, learn when to walk away proud.”
Showed me calloused hands and a steady stare,
Said, “A man holds weight most won’t ever bear.”
He taught me strength ain’t never loud,
It’s showin’ up when no one’s around.
Pre-Chorus
So I carry both when the road gets long—
His backbone steady, her mercy strong.
Chorus
I can walk this life and I can walk it alone,
But there’s a place I’m held when the weight gets cold.
Daddy taught me how to stand tall and,how to make my choice.
Mama kept me safe in gentle hands, she raised me up on love and joy.
No matter how far I run or how old I get, ya
I’m a mama’s boy.
Verse 3
I’ve worn suits, I’ve worn scars,
Watched small towns fade under neon stars.
I’ve been right, I’ve been wrong,
Still hear her voice when the night goes long.
When the weight gets heavy and the faith feels thin,
That love’s what pulls me back in.
Bridge (Strip it back)
One day I’ll be the one they lean on hard,
Try to teach ‘em right, try to guard their hearts.
If they stand their ground and still choose joy,
Then I did my job — yeah, I did alright.
Final Chorus (Lift + Space)
I can walk this life and I can walk it alone,
But there’s a place I’m held when the weight gets cold.
Daddy taught me how to stand tall and,how to make my choice.
Mama kept me safe in gentle hands, she raised me up on love and joy.
No matter how far I run or how old I get, ya
I’m a mama’s boy.
Outro
Daddy gave me steel, mama gave me soul.
I’m walkin’ this life with both in my bones.
Last Chorus (A Cappella / Fade)
When the road gets long and I’m far from home,
I still feel her hands, I’m never alone.
No matter how far I run or how old I get, boy,
I’m a mama’s boy.
