Love You, Momma”
(A heartfelt country/acoustic ballad)
Verse 1
You were young and carrying me
With four little lives and shattered dreams
Left Iowa with suitcases packed
No looking back, just faith for that
Back to California skies
To Grandma and Grandpa Corbin’s light
You carried pain nobody saw
But somehow you still carried us all
Pre-Chorus
And I see it now
Everything you gave
Every sleepless night
Every sacrifice you made
Chorus
Oh Momma, you were stronger than the storms
Held this family together when the whole world fell apart
Through heartbreak, loss, and every tear you cried alone
You became the rock that carried us back home
And if I’m half the woman you’ve always been to me
With a heart that big and love that deep
Then I know I’m doing something right
Love you, Momma… with all my life
Verse 2
The desert sun and San Diego rain
Three wild boys and me raised the same
The youngest daughter watching you fight
Trying your best through every night
Lord knows they put you through some hell
But you never quit, you never fell
Even when Christmas stole your son
And James was gone before the morning sun
Pre-Chorus
Still you found strength
When no strength was there
Held us through the grief
While carrying your own despair
Chorus
Oh Momma, you were stronger than the storms
Held this family together when the whole world fell apart
Through heartbreak, loss, and every tear you cried alone
You became the rock that carried us back home
And if I’m half the woman you’ve always been to me
With a heart that big and love that deep
Then I know I’m doing something right
Love you, Momma… with all my life
Bridge
Two more times you gave your heart away
Two more times death took love away
But somehow you still stand tall
Still the one we always call
Then cancer came and tried to steal
The strongest soul I’ve ever seen
But you faced it with your head held high
And showed us all how to survive
Now you’re a grandmother
A great-grandmother too
Still giving love to everyone
The way only you can do
And when addiction had me lost
You gave me tough love through it all
Not to hurt me — but save me
And you never let me fall
Final Chorus
Oh Momma, you were stronger than the storms
Held this family together when the whole world fell apart
You’ve been my best friend, my safe place, my truth
The woman I still run to
And if one day my children say of me
“She loved us strong and endlessly”
Then every lesson came from you
Love you, Momma…
I always will
I always do
Outro
You carried us all
And somehow still carry me too
Love you, Momma.
