Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mom said, “Baby, do right”
I wore that dress like a debt
Three times I stood in the aisle
Four little hearts to protect
I hid my face in the church
I carried shame in my hands
You did what love made you do
Even when I couldn’t stand
[Pre-Chorus]
It was a hard road
Sharp in my chest
You gave what you had
And I did my best
[Chorus]
Rocky start, smooth end
(rocky start, smooth end)
We got through the break
We got through the bend
Rocky start, smooth end
(rocky start, smooth end)
Mom and me made it
Though it still hurt then
[Verse 2]
Three husbands, four children
Names I still call in prayer
Folded clothes, cold dinners
Hope on the edge of a chair
You held the line every day
Even when I pulled away
I learned your tired hands
Were love in a harder way
[Pre-Chorus]
It was a hard road
Sharp in my chest
You gave what you had
And I did my best
[Chorus]
Rocky start, smooth end
(rocky start, smooth end)
We got through the break
We got through the bend
Rocky start, smooth end
(rocky start, smooth end)
Mom and me made it
Though it still hurt then
[Bridge]
I used to blame the years
Used to blame your name
But pain can tell the truth
And love can sound the same
You were no saint
Just a woman in the storm
Trying to keep us warm
Trying to keep us whole
[Final Chorus]
Rocky start, smooth end
(rocky start, smooth end)
We got through the break
We got through the bend
Rocky start, smooth end
(rocky start, smooth end)
Mom and me made it
Though it still hurt then
Rocky start, smooth end
(rocky start, smooth end)
Three rings, four children
Still, we made amends

Style
Soulful R&B with a slow swung pocket, warm bass guitar, brushed drums, and churchy keys; verse stays intimate and confession-heavy, pre-chorus opens with stacked harmonies, chorus lands on a short chantable hook with doubled lead and gentle ad-libs. Add vinyl crackle, a soft string lift into each chorus, and a late bridge that strips to piano and voice before the final full lift. Close-mic, heart-forward vocal with airy runs and emotional restraint, polished but raw-wounded mix., smooth, soulful
