[Intro, Soft acoustic guitar]
Mm mm yeah
[Verse 1]
We didn’t have much, just a roof and a prayer
Hand-me-down dreams and your worn-out chair
You worked them long days, never let it show
Held us together more than we’ll ever know
[Verse 2]
Six kids runnin’ wild in a small-town home
You made sure none of us felt alone
Three brothers, two sisters, and me leadin’ the way
But you were the strength at the end of the day
[Pre-Chorus]
You might not think you got it all right
But Mama you were our guiding light
[Chorus]
You did your best, even when it hurt
Put our needs first, put your hands in the dirt
Gave us love when the world felt cold
More than silver, more than gold
I wasn’t perfect, Lord I know that’s true
But everything good in me comes from you
I love you to death, I hope you can see
Mama, you’re everything to me
[Verse 3]
I made some mistakes, I went my own way
Didn’t always listen to what you’d say
But I’m standin’ here now, tryin’ to be a man
Holdin’ on tight to your steady hand
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m doin’ right now, I’m changin’ my road
Tryin’ to carry the love you showed
[Chorus]
You did your best, even when it hurt
Put our needs first, put your hands in the dirt
Gave us love when the world felt cold
More than silver, more than gold
I wasn’t perfect, Lord I know that’s true
But everything good in me comes from you
I love you to death, I hope you can see
Mama, you’re everything to me
[Bridge, Emotional swell]
I’m the oldest son, and I’m proud to say
You’re the reason I stand here today
Through every struggle, through every test
Mama, you gave us your very best
[Break, Soft piano + guitar]
Ohhh yeah
[Final Chorus]
You did your best, don’t you ever doubt
You’re the heart this family’s built around
Six strong kids ‘cause you stayed strong
You were right there all along
I’m so grateful God gave me you
For every sacrifice you pushed through
I love you so much, yeah I confess
Mama… you did your best
[Outro, Fading guitar]
I love you Mom… forever and always
“Happy Mother’s Days Mom I love you”
