D                      G 
Her mama raised her on Jesus

She wears a cross around her neck but never preaches

She prays alone when no one sees it

She's always strong and holding on even at her weakest

She's got a heartache where her dreams have been

Gave it all up for a couple kids 
G                     A 
Didn't have much but enough to give 
      D            Bm7 
She's everything I wanna be

Carried me this far 
               A                      D       G 
And when she's gone I'll carry on her legacy 



D                              G 
The deck of cards that she was given 
       Bm7                             A 
Had no aces but she played them to the limit 
D                          G 
Heart ain't even from this planet 
            Bm7                       A 
She's never angry and I'll never understand it

Carried me this far

Em7                          A 
Truth is I could try but I'm clueless 
                       Em7 
I had to live up to be more than half the woman 
         A 
That she used to be 



             D 
She's like a Alice in Wonderland 
D 
The very first one to hold my hand 
G                        A 
Show me this world 'fore I jumped in 
      D            Bm7 
She's everything I wanna be
