Story Behind the Song
This is The most special song I have ever written. Because I wrote it about 15 years ago, when I left home and Mom to pursue my career, and moved to Texas to Play the Circuit. I'll never forget the Day that I left Mom at the airport as I flew off into the wild blue world, to become someone. Well fortunately, every Dream i ever wanted in my career came true, But Momma started it all. And now we are back together only a few miles from each other again. Dreams do come true :) This Song is the Original demo that myself, and Abel Salazar produced in Houston Texas 15 years ago. It's a little Different, But I hope you Like it. Again, this is only 2 guys with some really cool toys to record with :) I Love You Mom....
Lyrics
"MOMMA'S JUST A THOUGHT AWAY"
VERSE 1
I LEFT KENTUCKY, A FEW YEARS AGO, I TOLD HER I'D BE BACK SOMEDAY.
CAUSE THERE'S JUST A FEW THINGS, I'VE BEEN, DREAMIN OF. SHE SAID "BOY I HOPE YOU
FIND YOUR WAY".
CHORUS 1
BUT IF YOU EVER GET BLUE, YOU KNOW I'M THINKING OF YOU. AND I'LL MISS YOU EVERYDAY.
IF YOU GET LONELY SOMETIMES, DRY THE TEARS FROM YOUR EYES, AND REMEMBER... MOMMA'S JUST A THOUGHT AWAY.
VERSE 2
WHEN WE GOT TO THE AIRPORT, SHE STARTED TO CRY. SHE SAID " BABY, I ALREADY MISS YOU.
BUT I REALIZE, YOU'VE GOTTA BE ON YOUR WAY, I HOPE THAT ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE ".
BRIDGE
OH, MOMMA... I HATE TO GO...
BUT AS SHE WAVED GOODBYE, AND THE TEARS FILED MY EYES, I REMEMBERED WHAT SHE SAID....
CHORUS 2
IF YOU EVER GET BLUE, YOU KNOW I'M THINKING OF YOU. AND I'M NOT THAT FAR AWAY.
IF YOU GET LONELY SOMETIMES, DRY THE TEARS FROM YOUR EYES, AND REMEMBER... MOMMA'S JUST A THOUGHT AWAY.
