MAMA'S SONG (BONUS)

When I grew up, my mama taught me About wrong and right and everything in between Yes ma'am, yes sir, be kind with your words Sunday comes around, we're goin to church Tried your best to make me smile To keep me safe, and raise me right Believed in me, and prayed my dreams come true And behind the scenes, it was always you Mama I'm gone mess up, I'm gonna make you cry I'm gonna let you down, but Imma turn out fine You can hope and pray, I hope you're prayin' for me I ain't a perfect son, Mama can't you see That I'm gone mess up, I'm gonna make mistakes I'm gonna drop the ball, I hope it ain't too late To try and make you proud, and I'll fail sometimes I always got your back, and Mama you got mine Becoming a man, it can't be all that hard Eighteen with a diploma and a Taylor guitar I was college bound to break your heart Just an only child and his Mama in the dark Tried my best to grow up way too quick Drinkin' and doin' things I shouldn'ta did Lost my mind to try and find my way We made it out alright is all that I can say Mama I'm gone mess up, I'm gonna make you cry I'm gonna let you down, but Imma turn out fine You can hope and pray, I hope you're prayin' for me I ain't a perfect son, Mama can't you see That I'm gone mess up, I'm gonna make mistakes I'm gonna drop the ball, I hope it ain't too late To try and make you proud, and I'll fail sometimes I always got your back, and Mama you got mine Mama, you got mine I'm all grown up, the party's over now Built a life and still ain't burned it down Years go by and nothing changes at all I'm still takin' advice from them late night talks Try your best, to have some faith in me We're gonna butt heads, sometimes we'll disagree But you love me like nobody else can I couldn't do without you, hope you understand Mama I'm gone mess up, I'm gonna make you cry I'm gonna let you down, but Imma turn out fine You can hope and pray, I hope you're prayin' for me I ain't a perfect son, Mama can't you see That I'm gone mess up, I'm gonna make mistakes I'm gonna drop the ball, I hope it ain't too late To try and make you proud, and I'll fail sometimes I always got your back, and Mama you got mine
