NASHVILLE
We were raised up right
Yea, all of us kids
Mom and dad worked hard
To make sure we did
All the things we were taught
And to stay in school
If we got in trouble
Well, that ain’t cool
So we did our best
To make ‘em both proud
Passin’ all those tests
And in church sang loud
Yea, momma saw in us
What we never did see
‘Til the day daddy died
It was emotionally(eeee)
Oh, momma don’t worry
I’m a writin’ these songs
And one day it’ll come
And you can sing along
And I’ll send you to the places
You and daddy didn’t go
I know you’ll be proud
When that row has been hoed
So, momma don’t you worry none
I’m gonna take care of you….
Well, I made through high school
And college too,
Got a real nice job
And good money to boot
Now I’m a sittin’ at night
Writing out these songs
Prayin’ Nashville will sing ‘em
Way before too long
(Slow down the tempo)
Cause I feel like I got something to prove…
And I wanna make you proud of me too….
I want daddy lookin’ down from above….
Knowin’ he did the right thing___ with his love…
(Tempo back up to normal)
Oh, momma don’t worry
I’m a writin’ these songs
And one day it’ll come
And you can sing along
And I’ll send to the places
You and daddy didn’t go
I know you’ll be proud
When that row has been hoed
So, momma don’t you worry none
I’m gonna take care of you….
As we’re drivin’ to the airport
It occurs to me
That we’re going to the places
You always wanted to see
And we know that daddy’s with us
Every step of the way
‘Cause we got Nashville singin’ songs
Like this one everyday……
Oh, momma don’t worry
I’m a writin’ these songs
And one day it’ll come
And you can sing along
And I’ll send to the places
You and daddy didn’t go
I know you’ll be proud
When that row has been hoed
So, momma don’t you worry none
I’m gonna take care of you….
Yea, momma I love ya
And I still love my daddy too…….
