Lyrics
My Momma's Way
She was there when I first opened my eyes
she worked so hard to give me life
so it began, this love every day
when I first felt my momma's way
I cried for broken bones and every dog I lost
I cried when broken hearts came at such a cost
she'd take me in her arms and keep my tears at bay
that's when I understood my momma's way
(Chorus)
Now it's time for letting go
as much as I want her to stay
but she'll be with her man again and I know
I'll always have my momma's way
Instrumental
(Bridge)
Life goes on, you always taught me so
There is no end to this love of yours I know
So now I'll sit and have a beer at our favorite place
And know that you forgave me all of my mistakes
I'll toast to life and know that you'd do the same
that's what I love about my momma's way...
that's what I love about my momma's way...
in my eyes... in my words
and now in silence, I know you'll hear me say
"I'll always take the roads along my momma's way"
