I turn down the dirt road
that leads to your old home
The first time I've been back
since you've been gone
Winding through the trees
brings a rush of memories
That big oak by the shed
used to hold my tire swing

I know the new owners,
I'm sure they won't mind
Not planning to get out,
just gonna sit here and cry

CH
Nothing could prepare me
For a loss like yours
By title you were Mamaw
By love, so much more
I'm in no hurry
but also can not wait
to see your face again
When I get to Heavens Gate

At least every week we
would talk on the phone
There’s so much you’ve missed
since you left and passed on
Last year I got married,
Now a baby's on the way
it's gonna be a girl and
She’ll be your namesake

Pray she acts like her dad
And looks just like me
*Hope I can be the mom
my mom could never be
(*optional last line: “Hope I can be the mom my mom was to me)

CH
Nothing could prepare me
For a loss like yours
By title you were Mamaw
By love, so much more
I'm in no hurry
but also can not wait
to see your face again
When I get to Heavens Gate

Oh Our Lil girls growing fast,
And she looks alot like you
Today I swear I smelt your perfume
When I walked into her room


CH
Nothing could prepare me
For a loss like yours
By title you were Mamaw
By love, so much more
I'm in no hurry
but also can not wait
to see your face again
When I get to Heavens Gate

I’ll see you again when I reach Heavens Gate
