Mom

When I was a child
You really showed me how
To be a good person Mama
That's why I want to thank you now

When My father left
You really worked so hard
That's why I want to tell you Mama
I'd be nowhere without your loving arms

I could never repay you
when the morning light
hits the dew, on the lawn
and the morning bird
fills the world, with a song

That's when I'll be home
Oh that's when I'll be home

I been thinking about
All the early days
You grew up so fast Mama
Had kids to raise

And you did it well
And we're all grown up
I just want to tell you Mama
I'd be nowhere without your loving arms

I could never be that strong
When the morning light
Hits the dew, on the lawn
And the morning bird
Fills the world, with a song

That's when I'll be home
That's when I'll be home

And I'm Sorry for
Not lending a hand
I been across the country
with a traveling band

Oh the summer wind
Really swept me away
But I won't be gone forever
Coming back home someday

and oh
how I really want to see you
When the morning light
hits the dew, on the lawn
and the morning bird
fills the world, with a song

that's when I'll be home
that's when I'll be home
that's when I'll be home
