Mama

Mama, how's the corn growin' out behind the house?

How's that old wind blowin' down south?

People are different out here

Like you said theyґd be

But most times the one that feels different

Is me.

I can see your eyes shine

As I drove away,

You and daddy standinґ there as I was

Off to find my way...

Well, Iґm your son

Shining for you.

Youґre the one reason that I can

Do the things I do.

And if it wasnґt

For your wind in my sails

Iґd be headinґ down stream,

Mama, youґre the reason I believe.

Things have certainly changed,

Iґd say for the good

But you never doubted that they would.

Mama, Iґve never seen so many people

Whoґd give it away in the race

If they could have one ounce of your faith...

If they could have

Seen your eyes shine as I drove away,

You and daddy standinґ there as I was

Off to find my way...

Iґm your son

Shining for you.

Youґre the one reason that I can

Do the things I do.

And if it wasnґt

For your wind in my sails

Iґd be headinґ down stream,

Mama, youґre the reason I believe
