Hey, mom I know that it's late Hope I didn't wake you Yeah, everything is okay Just needed to talk to you
Today I had one of those days But I didn't call to complain Just to say everything That I didn't for all of those years
You were a taxicab driver, a nurse and a maid A waitress, a cook and a shoulder to lay My head on to cry on When nothing was going my way
You knew every answer without cracking a book And I took for granted that I had it so good And I'm sorry it's taken me so long to say thank you, I love you Twenty years late
It's funny how time passing by can change your perspective A little while out on your own can sure make you think I don't know how you did it no I can't find one spare minute The days run together but I don't remember you ever letting us down
You were the judge and the jury when I did wrong Been my biggest fan from my very first song The gas in the engine That always kept me moving on
A seamstress a counselor and the one referee That could cold stop a fight between my brother and me And I'm sorry it's taken me so long to say, thank you I love you Twenty years late
I'll let you go now but I hope that you know now how I feel Thank you for making me the man I've become I love you and I will always be your son Mom that's all I called to say
