Lyrics

Mom said Son

It?s a very special, scary day.
I?m going to sing in my first school play.
I woke up with a stomph ache, that just wouldn?t go away.
I asked my mom if I could stay at home with her today.
But she said son, just listen to what your momma has to say.

And mom said son,
You have to see it, and believe it, to achieve it.
You can be, anyone you choose to be.
You just picture yourself up on that stage, singing and dancing son, you?re all the rage.
I know you can do it, because I can see it to.
And mom said son, I believe in you.

Now its 10 years later and I?ve just finished high school,
I?m going to miss my family, but Im going to Nashville.
I want to sing on that grand old pry stage.
As I?m packing my bags, and saying good buy,
My momma sits down, and she starts to cry.
I hugged her tight, and told her to remember what she used to say.

And mom said son,
You have to see it, and believe it, to achieve it.
You can be anyone you choose to be.
You just picture yourself up on that stage, singing and dancing son, you?re all the rage.
I know you can do it, because I can see it to,
And mom said son, I believe in you.

Now its five years later, and Im still making music,
I?ve been on the Opry so many times, you would think id be used to it.
But I still get a little shaken every time.
Before I go on, I say a little prayer,
And remember my momma, and the words I still (Hear).

And mom said son,
You have to see it, and believe it, to achieve it.
You can be anyone you choose to be.
You just picture yourself up on that stage, singing and dancing son, you?re all the rage.
I know you can do it, because I can see it to,
And mom said son, I believe in you.
