Never Would've Made It

I kept my momma up late

On her knees as she prayed for her boy

Who was hanging on by a thread

I was acting a fool

I was skipping on school

Getting high as a kite, gonna wind up dead

She believed I'd return like the prodigal

Pray to God every day for a miracle

No, I'm not a lost cause, she wouldn't give up on me

And I

I never would have made it

I never would have made it

Without you, you, you

And I

I never would have made it

I never would have made it through

Without you, you, you

I was coming home late

Covering every state

In a van with a band barely getting paid

And the love of my life

She was up through the night

With the kids fighting tears hoping for a break

By my side with a love unconditional

Had the faith to believe for a miracle

No, I'm not a lost cause, she wouldn't give up on me

And I

I never would have made it

I never would have made it

Without you, you, you

And I

I never would have made it

I never would have made it through

Without you, you, you (without you)

Tell me where, tell me where would I be

Tell me where would I be without you

If you hadn't been praying for me and standing by me

Tell me,

Tell me where, tell me where would I be

Tell me where would I be without you

If you hadn't been praying for me and standing by me

I'd be lost without you, without you

And I (I-I)

I never would have made it

I never would have made it

Without you, you, you (without you, without you)

And I (I-I-I)

I never would have made it

I never would have made it through

Without you, you, you (without you, without you)
