(Verse 1)
Back on 155, where the road ran slow,
Pine Trail Shores was the only home I’d know,
Lake Palestine with that sunset glow,
You raised me right, taught me what matters most.
(Pre-Chorus)
We didn’t have much, but we had love,
And somehow that was always enough.
(Chorus)
Happy birthday, Momma, I hope you see,
Just what your love has done for me,
From dirt roads then to where we are now,
You showed me strength and you showed me how.
We’ve come a long way, still more to do,
And every good thing starts with you,
I love you more than words can say,
Forever your son, Will, always.
(Verse 2)
Front porch nights and the Texas air,
You said, “Stand tall, and don’t you scare,”
Through every storm, you pulled me through,
Every lesson I learned, I learned from you.
(Pre-Chorus)
Now I look back down that old dirt road,
And I thank God for the life you showed.
(Chorus)
Happy birthday, Momma, I hope you see,
All the things you made in me,
From Pine Trail Shores to these new days,
I’m walking strong in the paths you paved.
We’ve come a long way, got more to go,
But one thing’s true I’ll always know,
I love you more than anything,
Forever your son, Will will sing.
(Bridge)
Time rolls on like an old freight train,
But your love don’t ever change,
No matter where this life may go,
You’re my home, and that’s for sure.
(Final Chorus)
Happy birthday, Momma, this is my song,
For all the years you kept me strong,
From 155 to where we stand,
You gave me more than I could’ve planned.
More years ahead, more memories too,
But nothing shines brighter than you,
I love you, Momma, yes it’s true,
Forever your son… I love you.
