Still Hurts

Intro

(Oh, mama)

Yeah...

Verse

She wakes up before the roosters crow

Five wild boys pullin' at her heartstrings

Coffee black, boots on the kitchen floor

Single mama fightin' through the hard things

Worn-out jeans and a smile she fakes

Hidin' tears behind them calloused hands

Raised us right on love and country land

But deep inside, she's breakin' where she stands

Chorus

That old ache from losin' her mama

Cuts like a knife through the years

Still hurts, yeah it still hurts

Even after all these tears

She carries it quiet, carries it strong

For her five boys, she keeps pushin' on

But late at night when the house is still

That pain comes callin', and it always will

Still hurts, yeah it still hurts

Verse

Friday nights, she's coachin' little league

Packin' lunches, mendin' up our scrapes

Teachin' us to stand tall, never break

With a Bible verse and a firm handshake

But I've seen her starin' at that empty chair

Where Grandma sat tellin' stories so sweet

Her eyes go distant, voice gets a little weak

Holdin' on to memories she can't release

Chorus

That old ache from losin' her mama

Cuts like a knife through the years

Still hurts, yeah it still hurts

Even after all these tears

She carries it quiet, carries it strong

For her five boys, she keeps pushin' on

But late at night when the house is still

That pain comes callin', and it always will

Still hurts, yeah it still hurts

Bridge

Oh, mama, we see you

Stronger than the oak out back

We love you more than words

Ain't no turnin' back

(We see you, mama)

Chorus

That old ache from losin' her mama

Cuts like a knife through the years

Still hurts, yeah it still hurts

Even after all these tears

She carries it quiet, carries it strong

For her five boys, she keeps pushin' on

But late at night when the house is still

That pain comes callin', and it always will

Outro

Still hurts... (still hurts)

Yeah, mama... it still hurts

(Oh, mama)
