[Verse 1]
DYou always had my back
GEvery time I'd fDall
From bBmusted knees to broken hearts
AWe've been through it all
You Dmade me walk the line every time
I'd Gcome in off the tDrack
My mBmother's always Abeen my better Dhalf
[Verse 2]
FDrom my first shoe you tied
To Gmy first night in Djail
You waBmlked me through hand in hand
The rAainbows and the hell
They Dsay I got your eyes
I say IG've got more than Dthat
My moBmther's always bAeen my better hDalf
[Chorus]
You slowed down the dArinking
And laid dGown on cigarettes
Better start thAinking
About the tGhings you will regret
And find a good wDoman
And maybe get lGucky like your Ddad

[Verse 3]
DYou bought me my guitar
For bGetter grades in scDhool

And now the nDame that you gave
Is Gnow my autoDgraph
My Bmmother's always beAen my better hDalf
[Chorus]
You slowed down the dArinking
And laid dGown on cigarettes
Better start thAinking
About the tGhings you will regret
And find a good wDoman
And maybe get lGucky like your Ddad
My moBmther's always bAeen my better hDalf
My moBmther's always bAeen my better hDalf
