Mama

Mama how's the corn growing

Out behind the house?

How's that old wind blowin' down south?

People are different out here

Like you've said they'd be

But most times the one who feels different is me



I can see your eyes shine as I drove away

You and Daddy standin' there as I was off to find my way



Well I'm your son shining for you

You're the one reason that I can do the things I do

And if it wasn't for your wind in my sails

I'd be headin' down stream

Mama, you're the reason I believe



Things have certainly changed

I'd say for the good

But you never doubted that they would

Mama, I've never seen so many people

Who'd kill to win 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 standing there as I was off to find my way



Well I'm your son shinin' for you

You're the one reason that I can do the things I do

And if it wasn't for your wind in my sails

I'd be headin' down stream

Mama, you're the reason I believe!
