Lyrics
[verse 1]
West-coastin' close to the ghost of my Momma
She died a long time ago, so I took her to the water
Pacific ocean opened up to keep her spirit
now I can't help to feel it, every time that i'm near it.
[Horn stab]
[hook]
You know I love you momma - an I ain't gonna cry
I'm take what you taught me, and hold my head up high
all the lessons you gave me, it helped me understand
how to live this life right, and be a good man
[verse 2]
now it's been a long time since you've been gone
me and my sister just keep pushing on.
You know we miss you love you never will forget you
All the wonderful things you said live on in the things we do.
[Hook]
You know I love you momma - an I ain't gonna cry
I'm take what you taught me, and hold my head up high
all the lessons you gave me, it helped me understand
how to live this life right, and be a good man
[Final verse]
When that water rushes in I remember how it all began
Little tiny boy now I'm a Full grown Man
I thought I could conquer anything back then
But then you left us, and I learned I'm only human.
[Final Hook]
You know I love you momma - an I ain't gonna cry
I'm take what you taught me, and hold my head up high
I know you sing with the Angels, I hear your voice on the wind
I see your eyes in the starlight and I know your watching
[Outro]
Watching me learn and grow,
watching me rock these shows
watching me everywhere i go
I can feel it when the water glows
watch me turn all the dreams
i told you about into my reality.
I know you sing with the Angels, I hear your voice on the wind
I see your eyes in the starlight and I know your watching
[hook]
You know I love you momma - an I ain't gonna cry
I'm take what you taught me, and hold my head up high
all the lessons you gave me, it helped me understand
how to live this life right, and be a good man
