Mothers & Sons

She used to watch him from the window pane He'd pretend to ride away Right off into that setting sun He always loved to play make believe In a backyard western movie scene He'd say mama watch me and my horses run By the time he could drive his daddy's old truck He couldn't get gone fast enough He was red taillights and a pedal to the floor She always tried to steer him right But he'd sneak in around midnight And she wouldn't sleep till he walked back through the door When she lays her head down, he's all she prays about That no matter how far he may roam That he'll stay strong and stay wild And know he's his mama's child And that he can always find his way back home And she'll worry like she does 'cause there's no kind of love Like the one between mothers and sons Now she's always waiting on Sunday night For the phone to ring and the clothes to dry And the minutes fly by when he finally calls She does her best to play it tough Fights back the tears when they hang up Yeah just yesterday he lived right down the hall When she lays her head down, he's all she prays about That no matter how far he may roam He'll stay strong and stay wild And know he's his mama's child And that he can always find his way back home She'll worry like she does 'cause there's no kind of love Like the one between mothers and sons She's gonna worry like she does 'cause there's no kind of love Like the one between mothers and sons Mothers and sons
