Lyrics
MOM AND DAD
(DALE ALLEN)
I am the proud possessor of the greatest gifts in life
A family I can turn to and a sweet home lovin' wife
I'd like to pay a tribute to the good life that I've had
These words are for the world to hear.... I love you mom and dad
I've tried to do the things you did, I've tried hard to be good
Even though I haven't always done the things you said I should
I'll never be the same as you and sometimes that makes me sad
But it's my life and I'm usually pretty happy mom and dad
There's some things I've never told you
Some places that I've been
Some things that you don't wanna know
Some troubles I've been in
My life ain't been the straight and narrow
Path that you'd have had
I don't worry 'cause what you don't know
Won't hurt you mom and dad
You've set a good example I can never hope to match
But I can try in my own way to shim and trim and patch
And maybe someday what I've done won't turn out all that bad
And I can turn and thank you 'cause I love you mom and dad
