verse 1 She'll change a dirty diaper Wipe a runny nose Get a two day old kool-aid stain right out of your clothes & she'll put her last spare dollar under your pillow when you lose a tooth She'll bust down your door & drag you out of bed make you sit right next to her in church wearing your Sunday best & when she bows her head to pray, you can bet shes saying one for you That's what mamas do they raise you, ground you build their whole world around you with no care for the hell they'll go through that's what mamas do verse 2 She'll keep up with all your girlfriends scare off the ones she hates She'll get a new grey hair and a wrinkle to spare every time you come home late & when you leave to chase that dream, she's gonna cry when she walks by your empty room She'll call and sing you happy birthday when everyone else forgets On your wedding day she'll joke and say where are my grandkids oh & when she get em she'll spoil em rotten the way her mama did with you Chorus verse 3 But she'll get old and fragile & the end will come too soon & she'll let go and you'll hold on the way all children do & you'll miss her, mourn her leave pretty flowers for her & you'll cry like the baby she knew & she'll hear you, guide you & pray the light finds you She'll never stop watching over you oh until you're up there too That's what mamas do
