Mama, I'm Alright

Well the sun just got through going down On a sleepy little Texas town Population plus one, minus one A new grandma rocks my sister's kid Just like 20 years ago she did The same thing in that same chair She said this one's born to run Every day at noon like a chapel bell Find her Jesus keep her well Help her do more right than wrong, at the end of the day I've got five good gears and a tank of gas, 50 watts and Johnny Cash A guitar and a broken heart Just full of things to say You taught me how to stand those tests and trials But you can't see a desert sunrise in the Bible She loves me more than anything And she wants the world for me Her west dropped off in El Paso And her north in Abilene Mama I'm okay out here I've seen how hard the world can be My step is sure and I know my name I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be If I had done what you and daddy'd done I would have never lost and never won Or gotten myself kicked when I was down I would not know how to travel well A hundred bucks and cheap motels I would not know how to fight for my own heart next time around Don't you cry another night about me In this city I've got angels all around me She loves me more than anything And she wants the world for me Her west dropped off in El Paso And her north in Abilene Mama I'm okay out here I've seen how hard the world can be My step is sure and I know my name I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be I felt it every time you prayed for me I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be
