tracy lawrence – what a memory lyrics
on the day mama died
she called daddy to her side
and said, i’ll be going soon
i know it’s gonna hurt you both
but promise me before i go
you’ll do what i ask of you
in a big red forger’s can
hid behind the pots and pans
you’ll find some money that i’ve saved
and in the back of my dresser drawer
i put away a little more
for a rainy day
go to town and buy that new guitar
’cause he’s been workin’ awful hard
to get his own to write his songs
what a memory
woah, what a memory
and even in her final moments
mama thought of me
what a memory
she was only thirty-five
i was fifteen, asking why
the lord took her away
he must have known we needed her
she was an angel, here, on earth
i still miss her everyday
with all her friends and half the town
and her family gathered round
i bet she never felt so loved
and everybody’s heads were bowed
i did my best to make her proud
as i stood up
and i sang ‘rock of ages cleft for me’
as i played it on that new six-string
i couldn’t help but cry
as we said goodbye
what a memory
woah, what a memory
and even in her final moments
mama thought of me
what a memory
and even in her final moments
mama thought of me
what a memory
what a memory
