Dear Mama

Dear Mama I wanna say thank you for loving and believing in your prodigal boy
Who s spent a lifetime hugging highway lines just to make a little noise
And Dear Mama I've come to realize that all of your advice was right all along
About the women and the booze and the honky tonk blues when you're bettin' on a song
And the list goes on and on

Dear Mama
A million red roses couldn't come close to payin' you back
For all the sacrifice you made in your life-for every good thing I ever had
For the hand that rocked the cradle the food on my table what I needed when it wasn't what I wanted
I want to thank you for the shoulder that bore so many burdens upon it
Dear Mama

Dear Mama for teaching me to read all the letters in red that taught me right from wrong
For keeping me straight and staying up late till I got back home
And dear mama for the voice on the phone when I'm feeling long gone and far from myself
That reminds who I am at times Lord even I can't tell
For every single time I fell

Dear Mama
A million red roses couldn't come close to payin' you back
For all the sacrifice you made in your life-for every good thing I ever had
For the hand that rocked the cradle the food on my table what I needed when it wasn't what I wanted
I want to thank you for the shoulder that bore so many burdens upon it
Dear Mama

For the hand that rocked the cradle the food on my table what I needed when it wasn't what I wanted
I want to thank you for the shoulder that bore so many burdens upon it
Dear Mama

Dear Mama I wanna say thank you for lovin' and believin' in your prodigal boy
