She said

12 hours on her feet
And she work like a slave
She didn't make a lot of money
But the bills got paid

Every day she dealt with pain
And I never seen her cry
And no matter how much it hurt
It was her only way to survive

And I'll never forget what you've done for me
And I'll do my best to make you proud of me

She said
Son I just want you to have a better life than me
She said
Get a job so you can raise a family
She said
I'm not the kind of people you look up to
I don't think you understand
I wanna be just like you

I can never figure out how we made it through
Did it by yourself and had no one to home to
Still she lived a life and prayed at night
To make it through another day

And even when I saw the pain in her eyes
She tells everything is okay
And I'll never forget what you've done for me
And I'll do my best to make you proud of me

She said
Son I just want you to have a better life than me
She said
Get a job so you can raise a family
She said
I'm not the kind of people you look up to
I don't think you understand
I wanna be just like you

(Ohhhh)
Everything you taught to me
I live by faithfully
You will be so proud to see (the man I've become)

And I'm gonna give back to you
Cause that's what a son would do
Mom, I love you
(Maybe more than enough)

(Woahh)
