[Verse 1]
DJ CERTIFIED wrote da track
I seen her smile in my mind
Old church shoes on the mat
Hands still rough from the grind
I been too far, too long
Carried that weight in my chest
Every “I’m good” was wrong
I just want one more yes
[Pre-Chorus]
One more step to that door
One more breath, one more chance
If she open her arms
I’m gonna fall in that dance
I been tough for the crowd
But I break when I think
Of her voice in the house
And the way it used to sing
[Chorus]
If I can hug my mama again
What a feel it would be
If I can hug my mama again
Lord, that would rescue me
Hold me close, hold me close
Let that old hurt leave
If I can hug my mama again
What a feel it would be (what a feel)
[Verse 2]
I still see her apron strings
Flour dust on the floor
Humming through the hard things
Making less from more
Now the phone line stays quiet
And my pride gets in the way
But I’d trade all my diamonds
For one more goodnight pray
[Pre-Chorus]
One more step to that door
One more breath, one more chance
If she open her arms
I’m gonna fall in that dance
I been tough for the crowd
But I break when I think
Of her hands on my face
And the tears I can’t speak
[Chorus]
If I can hug my mama again
What a feel it would be
If I can hug my mama again
Lord, that would rescue me
Hold me close, hold me close
Let that old hurt leave
If I can hug my mama again
What a feel it would be (what a feel)
[Bridge]
If heaven got a hallway
I’m already on my way
With my heart out in my palms
And my name in her prayer
I don’t need no gold chain
I don’t need a stage
I just need that one embrace
And to hear her say my name
[Chorus]
If I can hug my mama again
What a feel it would be
If I can hug my mama again
Lord, that would rescue me
Hold me close, hold me close
Let that old hurt leave
If I can hug my mama again
What a feel it would be (what a feel)
