Mom Son Dance

I love you mom I wanna say thanks for this mom son dance how I was raised, put the world right in my hands Taught how to walk, pointed where I should move my feet And showed me how to show love for the love I'd meet I wrote this song for momma, thinking back to the old mananas Sunday morning church, and for lunch you'd whip up a corn tostada Always told to follow, dreams that brought me to gold tomorrows And a pleasant present, my adolescence was all that I'd want Or all that I'd need, you helped to water all that I'd seed And now I'm looking back, setting maps for the parent I'll be The care that you showed, the heart that you would wear on your sleeve Now you're on my arm, staring at you feels like I'm staring at me The old pool days at the Wexford house And Thomas lake, state fair food, and handmedowns The popcorn, twenty four, watching Jacky Bau The cold dips, and old trips, out to Mexico The good talks, hard talks, when you'd sit me down To right now, when you said i made the family proud And when I finally met the girl, you told me ask her out I wanna say thanks for this mom son dance how I was raised, put the world right in my hands Taught how to walk, pointed where I should move my feet And showed me how to show love for the love I'd meet And that's sweet
