Miracle

Momma told me son

Don’t be afraid

As I slipped on my bag

I’m her Chevrolet

Walked towards the school

With her hand holding mine

A few years later I was 17

Playing the state game

Going for that ring

Dad told me son you will be just fine

Than we fought under the lights

And man lost 14 to 9

Well I’m just growing up

And sure ain’t gettin old

Tryin' to find my way through life

On a windy two lane road

Learning everyday

How live and how to pray

To keep my love one’s safe

And stay on the straight and narrow

Man this life that I live

It ain’t short of a miracle

He said,

Before you know it,

30 will come around quick,

Build a house on the outskirts

And have a couple of kids,

Play catch with the boys

And teach them how to hunt

And how to bait a hook

And when they ask me dad

has it always been this good

Well I’m just growing up

And sure ain’t gettin old

Tryin' to find my way through life

On a windy two lane road

Learning everyday

How live and how to pray

To keep my love one’s safe

And stay on the straight and narrow

Man this life that I live

It ain’t short of a miracle

Now daddy’s fading away in his room

And I ask him dad

How did you make it through

Well I’m still growing up

But son I’m gettin old

Tryin' to find my way through life

Now I’ve hit the end of the road

Still Learning everyday

How live and how to pray

To keep my love one’s safe

And stay on the straight and narrow

Man this life I lived

Yea this life I lived

It ain’t short of a Miracle
