Twenty Years Late

Hey mom I know that it's late, hope I didn't wake you, Yea everything is OK, I just needed to talk to you, I had one of those days, But I didn't call to complain, Just to say everything that I didn't for all of those years, You were a taxi cab driver, a nurse and a maid, A waitress, a cook, and a shoulder to lay My head on to cry on, when nothing was goin' my way, You knew every answer without crackin' a book, And I took for granted that I had it so good, And I'm sorry it's taken me so long to say, Thank you, I love you, twenty years late, It's funny how time passin' by can change your perspective, A little while out on your own, can sure make you think, I don't, know how you did it, no I can't find one spare minute, The days run together but I don't remember you, ever, Lettin' us down, You were the judge and the jury when I did wrong, You're my biggest fan from my very first song, The gas and the engine that always kept me movin' on, A seamstress, a councilor, and the one referee, That could stop a fight 'tween my brothers and me, And I'm sorry it's taken me so long to say, Thank you, I love you, twenty years late, I'll let you go now, but I hope you know now, how I feel, Thank you for makin' me the man I've become, I love you and I will always be your son, Mom that's all I called to say, Twenty years late, Hey mom I know that it's late, I just needed to talk to you...
