This song is for you mom.
From them long nights to right now
Backroad dust on my old work boots
Life hit hard, yeah it knocked me loose
Got scars I don’t even talk about
Pain built up had to walk it out
Lost in the dark I was off that path
Mad at the world just burning fast
Every bad choice yeah I own that now
But you never once let me drown
Even when I wasn’t acting like I should
I’d push you away you still pulled me close
Only real love that I ever known
Hey mom you were there through it all
When I couldn’t stand you wouldn’t let me fall
Through the rain, through the pain, through the nights so long
You were my right when I went so wrong
Hey mom yeah I see it now
Every prayer you said every tear you drowned
I’m still standin here and it’s clear to see
You were the strength to keep me strong
Yeah I know I put you through hell and back
Took your heart and I stretched it to crack
But you never left, never shut that door
Even when I gave you reasons for more
You saw a man when I saw a mess
Kept your faith when I second guessed
Told me son your gonna find your way
Even on my darkest days
Late night talks in that kitchen light
You held it down when I couldn’t fight
Every word you said still echoes loud
You the reason I’m still around
Hey mom you were there through it all
When I couldn’t stand you wouldn’t let me fall
Through the rain through the pain through the nights so long
You were my right when I went so wrong
Hey mom yeah I see it now
Every prayer you said every tear you drowned
I’m still standin’ here and it’s clear to see
You were the strength God gave to me
I don’t say it enough, I know that I should
But every broken piece turned into good
‘Cause you stayed right there, never gave up on me
Even when I couldn’t see
Hey mom… yeah I’m sayin’ it proud
You’re the voice in my head when the world gets loud Through the dirt roads, mistakes, and the years gone by You’re the reason I’m still alive hey mom if I make it through
Every dream I chase I owe to you
Yeah I’m still standin’ here and it’s plain to see You were the strength God gave to me
Yeah I made it this far cause of you mom Ain’t done yet
