Hey mama, I know it's been a while since I called
Hey mama, how are things going back at home?
It's alright if you don't pick up
I'll leave a message at the tone
I just wanted you to know
Thanks to you I'm a man that I can be proud of Someone, someone can hold on to
Thanks to you
Thanks to you I'm the luckiest kid on the planet
And I'll never take it for granted
You're the reason I do what I do
Thanks to you
Hey mama, time sure flies when you're on your own
Hey mama, I'm finally learning how to take the hard turns slow

Thanks to you
Thanks to you I'm the luckiest kid on the planet
And I'll never take it for granted
You're the reason I do what I do

I just hope I'm making you proud
Thanks to you I'm a man that I can be proud of Someone, someone can hold on to
