Lyrics
The World To Me
I 've seen whiskey beat my daddy down, bring him to his knees
I watched him battle back and beat that disease
I see him standin' just as tall as you please
Well, that may not seem like all that much to you, but
It means the world to me
I seen my momma raise us kids up all alone
Give us what we needed with what little that she owned
She cried, but we never knew it 'till we'd grown
That may not seem like all that much to you, but
It means the world to me
I seen my little girl fight to find her way
Struggle from the darkness into the light of day
She cried out what she could not say
That may not seem like all that much to you, but
It means the world to me
