[Verse 1]
The gravel popped beneath my boots,
Dust clouds dancing in the afternoon,
A schoolbag swinging by my side,
I’d race that porch where you’d reside.
We’d bicker ‘bout the little things,
But oh, the love that time still brings.
[Chorus]
Mama, I love you more,
Through every slammed and creaky door.
Fights may come and fights may go,
But in my heart, you’ll always know—
Mama, I love you more.
[Verse 2]
The smell of cornbread in the air,
Your tired hands brushing back your hair.
You’d scold me for the mess I’d make,
But your smile showed it’s love, not ache.
We were fire and we were rain,
But love’s the thread that won’t break plain.
[Chorus]
Mama, I love you more,
Through every slammed and creaky door.
Fights may come and fights may go,
But in my heart, you’ll always know—
Mama, I love you more.
[Bridge]
Now I’m grown, and life’s stretched wide,
But I still feel you by my side.
In every laugh, in every tear,
Your voice is what I’ll always hear.
[Chorus]
Mama, I love you more,
Through every slammed and creaky door.
Fights may come and fights may go,
But in my heart, you’ll always know—
Mama, I love you more.
