I'll Still Need Your Shoulder

Momma I'm growing up and I need you to know

That you're one of my best friends

But soon you're gonna have to let go

I know you think it's sad

Yeah, it's sad for me too

But if we didn't have these growing pains

I wouldn't love you the way I do

I think I'm turning out alright, thanks to you

And momma I'm ready for the real world

Just watch what I can do

I'm a woman that you can be proud of

Like your momma was when she raised you

I'm gonna need you in my darkest hours, and on my best days too

I'm sure gonna make mistakes but let me learn my lessons

I'm gonna cry and when I do

As I keep getting older I'll still need your shoulder

Senior high school year, graduation day

We cried us a river cause your baby's going away

Far from this town, away from all I know

But it's okay, I'll learn to live my life from the love you gave me at home

And if I'm doing great, or down to my last prayer

I know it doesn't matter, I know you'll still be there

I'm a woman that you can be proud of

Like your momma was when she raised you

I'm gonna need you in my darkest hours, and on my best days too

I'm sure gon make mistakes but let me learn my lessons

I'm gonna cry and when I do

As I keep getting older I'll still need your shoulder

I'm sure gon make mistakes but let me learn my lessons

I'm gonna cry and when I do

As I keep getting older I'll still need your shoulder
