Tracy Lawrence - What A Memory текст песни

On the day mama died she called daddy to her side

And said I'll be going soon

I know it's gonna hurt you both but promise me before I go

You'll do what I ask of you

In a big red Folger's can hid behind the pots and pans

You'll find some money that I've saved

In the back of my dresser drawer I put away a little more

For a rainy day

Go to town and buy that new guitar cause he's been workin' awful hard

To get his own to write his songs

What a memory oh what a memory

Even in her final moments mama thought of me what a memory

She was only thirty-five I was fifteen asking why the Lord took her away

He must have known we needed her she was an angel here on earth

I still miss her everyday

With all her friends and half the town and her family gathered round

I bet she never felt so loved

When everybody's heads were bowed I did my best to make her proud as I stood up

And I sang Rock Of Ages cleft for me as I played it on that new six-string

I couldn't help but cry as we said goodbye

What a memory...

[ steel ]

Even in her final moments mama thought of me what a memory

What a memory
