You could've been bitter, you could've hated him |
| [00:18.54] |
You could've talked about the whiskey and the women |
| [00:22.73] |
|
| [00:24.36] |
He couldn've done better, but you loved him anyhow |
| [00:30.10] |
|
| [00:30.66] |
Then you taught us all the power of forgiveness |
| [00:35.34] |
|
| [00:37.34] |
Mama, you were smiling when you could've been crying all night |
| [00:43.46] |
Mama, you made me believe everything was alright |
| [00:49.89] |
Mama, you never wore your pain too thick |
| [00:56.07] |
I'd like to thank you for this |
| [00:58.87] |
|
| [01:01.00] |
You could've fought, you could've cut him down to shame |
| [01:07.05] |
You could've told us that our daddy didn't want us |
| [01:11.48] |
|
| [01:13.05] |
But that wasn't true, and you knew it all along |
| [01:19.29] |
It was a struggle between the road and loving you |
| [01:23.83] |
|
| [01:25.96] |
Mama, you were smiling when you could've been crying all night |
| [01:31.85] |
|
| [01:32.59] |
Mama, you made me believe everything was alright |
| [01:38.46] |
Mama, you never wore your pain too thick |
| [01:44.76] |
I'd like to thank you for this |
| [01:47.80] |
|
| [01:50.80] |
You did more good for me than you will ever know |
| [01:55.73] |
I've seen mothers fill their childrens hearts with hate |
| [01:59.97] |
|
| [02:02.53] |
But you knew better than to drag me down with you |
| [02:08.08] |
You let me love my daddy just the same |
| [02:12.62] |
|
| [02:14.62] |
Mama, you were smiling when you could've been crying all night |
| [02:20.86] |
Mama, you made me believe everything was alright |
| [02:26.86] |
Mama, you never wore your pain too thick |
| [02:33.32] |
I'd like to thank you for this |
| [02:36.15] |
|
| [02:38.76] |
Oh I'd like to thank you for this |
