MOMMA THANK YOU by Craig Jacobson

You taught me I could be anything
You taught me to work hard and you'll succeed
You taught me the grass ain't always greener on the other side

You taught me that I should never lie
You taught me that stealin was a crime
You taught me every cloud has a silver lining

Momma Thank You for the things that you gave up
For your love for the way you brought me up
Momma Thank You although I don't say it a enough
I love you

Sometimes when you're young
You think your mothers gonna live for ever
And in away its really true
Its the one thing all the countries have in common
And politics and religion can't undo
There's a mother behind every one of us

Whole step key change

You taught me the good things in life are free
You taught me its better to give than to receive
You taught me there's a pot of gold at the end on every rainbow

Momma Thank You for the times that it got tough
For your strength for never giving up
Momma Thank You although I don't say it enough
I love you
Momma Thank You for the things that you gave up
For your love for the way you brought me up
Momma Thank You for everything you done
Thank You Mom
