Hey Mom I Made It

Used to be a little on the wild side

Used to run the streets in the moonlight, up to no good

Didn't matter what was on the label, I could drink 'em all underneath the table

Yeah, I know I kept you up a couple long nights

Climbing out of windows for the wrong guys, up to no good

A winner at picking all the losers

Always breaking hearts 'cause I had to shoot first

I put so many miles on that broken road

And I know it hurt to watch me go

So I just wanted to let you know

Hey mom, I made it

I ain't talking about being famous

Do you remember all those times you prayed, and I strayed?

Well, I finally found my way

Got me a good man

And learned to love who I am

Yeah, I've been through hell and back again

And I'm still standing

Anyway, just called to say

"Hey mom, I made it"

Never thought I'd get out of my old ways

Musta had an angel on my shoulder or amazing grace

But ever since I saw that neon light

I'd say I've been doin' alright

I put so many miles on that broken road

Thank God He didn't let me go

So I just wanted to let you know

Hey mom, I made it

And I ain't talking about being famous

Do you remember all those times you prayed, and I strayed?

Well, I finally found my way

Got me a good man

And learned to love who I am

Yeah, I've been through hell and back again

And I'm still standing

Anyway, just called to say

"Hey mom, I made it"

Oh, hey mom, I made it

I made it out alive

I made a better life

Maybe you can sleep a little better at night

'Cause hey mom, I made it

And I ain't talking about being famous

Do you remember all those times you prayed, and I strayed?

Well, I finally found my way

Got me a good man

And learned to love who I am

Yeah, I've been through hell and back again

And I'm still standing

Anyway, just called to say

"Hey mom, I made it"
