That’s What Mommas Are For
There's no dreamers in her generation
So she raised one
But chasing a dream can be as complicated
As chasing the sun
These days I just sit and I kick myself for moving far away
So I call her up and say
I've had a real hard day
I know you've got a lot on your plate
You don't need nothing more
She says baby that's what mommas are for
Well I'm a puddle of tears sitting right here
On the side of I-24
She says baby that's what mommas are for
He don't love me the way I want him to
But he tries to
Be the man he knows I need
Sometimes it leads
To kissing and trying
Cussing and fighting
And I just gotta walk away
So I call her back and say
I've had a real hard day
I know you've got a lot on your plate
You don't need nothing more
She says baby that's what mommas are for
Well I'm a puddle of tears sitting right here
On the side of I-24
She says baby that's what mommas are for
Ah
Ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah
Ah
When I cry, she cries
She dries my eyes
When I smile, she smiles
That's what mommas are for
When I cry, she cries
She dries my eyes
When I smile, she smiles
That's what mommas are for
I've had a real hard day
I know you've got a lot on your plate
You don't need nothing more
She says baby that's what mommas are for
Well I'm a puddle of tears and I'm sitting right here
On the side of I-24
She says baby that's what mommas are for
She says baby that's what mommas are for
She says baby that's what God put me here for
So she raised one
But chasing a dream can be as complicated
As chasing the sun
These days I just sit and I kick myself for moving far away
So I call her up and say
I've had a real hard day
I know you've got a lot on your plate
You don't need nothing more
She says baby that's what mommas are for
Well I'm a puddle of tears sitting right here
On the side of I-24
She says baby that's what mommas are for
He don't love me the way I want him to
But he tries to
Be the man he knows I need
Sometimes it leads
To kissing and trying
Cussing and fighting
And I just gotta walk away
So I call her back and say
I've had a real hard day
I know you've got a lot on your plate
You don't need nothing more
She says baby that's what mommas are for
Well I'm a puddle of tears sitting right here
On the side of I-24
She says baby that's what mommas are for
Ah
Ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah
Ah
When I cry, she cries
She dries my eyes
When I smile, she smiles
That's what mommas are for
When I cry, she cries
She dries my eyes
When I smile, she smiles
That's what mommas are for
I've had a real hard day
I know you've got a lot on your plate
You don't need nothing more
She says baby that's what mommas are for
Well I'm a puddle of tears and I'm sitting right here
On the side of I-24
She says baby that's what mommas are for
She says baby that's what mommas are for
She says baby that's what God put me here for
