(Verse 1)
Back on 155, just a two-lane line,
Pine Trail Shores, yeah, that life was mine,
Lake Palestine, those summer nights,
You made a way when there weren’t no lights.
(Pre-Chorus)
We didn’t know we were gettin’ by,
You just smiled and said we’d be alright.
(Chorus)
Hey Momma, it’s your birthday, yeah I wrote this down,
Thinkin’ ‘bout them days in that small-town sound,
From where we were to where we are right now,
You’re the reason I ain’t backed down.
We’ve come a long way, still got time,
More years ahead and I thank God you’re mine,
Ain’t a word strong enough for what you mean,
Forever your son, Will… always gonna be.
(Verse 2)
Screen door slam and a gravel drive,
You worked so hard just to keep us right,
Every lesson came with love and truth,
I’m still livin’ every one you taught me to.
(Pre-Chorus)
Now I see it clear lookin’ back on then,
You were holdin’ strong when I didn’t understand.
(Chorus)
Hey Momma, it’s your birthday, hear me out,
All them little things I never said out loud,
From Pine Trail Shores to this life I live,
You gave me more than this world could give.
We’ve come a long way, still got dreams,
And you’re the heart of everything in me,
Ain’t a word strong enough for what you do,
Forever your son… I love you.
(Bridge)
Time keeps movin’ like a river rolls,
But you’re still the place I call my home,
No matter how far down this road I go,
You’re the one thing I’ll always know.
(Final Chorus)
Hey Momma, it’s your birthday song,
For all them nights you stayed up strong,
From 155 to where I stand,
You made me who I am.
We’ve come a long way, look at us now,
And I still need you, I’ll say it out loud,
More years comin’, I’ll be right here,
Forever your son, Will… always, I swear.
