Momma Don't Call Me Home

I packed my bag at the break of dawn Tipped my hat and said "I gotta move on " Momma smiled with a tear in her eye Said "Go chase the rhythm baby reach for the sky " Momma don't call me home no more 'Cause she knows I'm dancin' through every door Got music in my shoes and stars to roam She said "Go on child-make the world your home " From Bourbon Street to a backroad stage I'm singin' my song turnin' every page She taught me love and she taught me grace Now I carry her strength in every place Momma don't call me home no more But I feel her light in my very core Got a heart full of fire and a soul full-grown She said "Live your life-you ain't alone " She's back on that porch with a sweet iced tea Humming to the tune she passed to me And every note I play I hear her hum- "Don't stop now boy-your best has just begun " Momma don't call me home no more But her love walks with me shore to shore I ain't lost-I'm just full-blown grown And Momma I'm proud to call this life my own
