My Mother

Well you always had my back And every time I'd fall From busted knees To broken hearts Well, we'd been through it all You made me walk the line Every time I'm coming off the track My mother has always been my better half To my first shoe you tied To my first night in jail You walked me through hand in hand Through the rainbows Through the hell They say I've got your eyes I say I've got more than that My mother's always been my better half Slow down the drinking And lay down those cigarettes Better start thinking About those things you will regret FInd a good woman And maybe get lucky like your dad My mother's always been my better half You bought me my guitar For better grades in school And I took it off to college Then I took it for a tool Now the name that you gave Is now my autograph My mother's always been my autograph Slow down the drinking And lay down those cigarettes Better start thinking About those things you will regret FInd a good woman And maybe get lucky like your dad My mother's always been my better half My mother's always been my better half
