Lyrics

I was 10 years old in the game of my life
playin' in the Little League All-Stars.
Two strikes on me, I'd be out number 3
But I could win it all right here.
My dreams ended with one mighty swing
I couldn't believe it was over.
A dusty young boy with tears in his eyes
just waitin' for the sky to fall in.
CHORUS:
Life don't always go the way you want it
Just try and be as good as you can be
But remember every step you tak, I'm with you--always
Those were the words my mama said to me,

As life went on I fell in love with music
The family tree that I came from was always playin' for me
But that road meant leavin' my family and friends behind me
Chasin' that dream tore my life at the seams
made it too hard to believe
BRIDGE;
Was it my destiny? I lost my family
I guess I didn't see the heartache it would bring us.
But there's a memory, down deep inside of me
I know there'll always be, those words I still hear.
CHORUS:
BRIDGE2:
And then one day the angels came and took her away.
I never thought I could feel so alone.
So I bow my head and I start to pray
I close my eyes and I can still hear her say.
CHORUS:
Those precious words my mama said to me.
