Momma's Man

I remember when he was no more than a stranger Answering the front door I felt fear and I felt anger But Momma put her makeup on even wore her heels She set four plates on the table like she hadn't done in years I was still too young to see the way her happy Coming from the city he was nothing like my daddy He was strange and he was different, I didn't get his jokes Never would have dreamed he'd be the man I'm proud to know He's humble and he's unassuming, patient like there's nothing to it Thankful and content to treat us like his friends He's comfortable in his own shoes, loves with nothing else to prove He's living proof that heaven has a plan I thank God for Momma's man He don't try to take the place of the man that she loved first And he don't expect his name on a gravestone next to hers By now he knows our stories, cuz he listens and he cares The way he laughs along you'd never know he wasn't there He's humble and he's unassuming, patient like there's nothing to it Thankful and content to treat us like his friends He's comfortable in his own shoes, loves with nothing else to prove He's living proof that heaven has a plan I thank God for Momma's man I thank God He's humble and he's unassuming, patient like there's nothing to it Thankful and content to treat us like his friends He's comfortable in his own shoes, loves with nothing else to prove He's living proof that heaven has a plan Even when it's hard to understand I thank God for Momma's Man
