Nell

Momma, we met on September third, nineteen sixty-two

Your only daughter, looking right up at you

We’ve had our arguments, a disagreement or two

But we always worked it out and made it on through

You’re a friend with a shoulder whenever I break

Giving every ounce you have for your family's sake

Oh, Momma Nell, with your beautiful, caring heart

Loving your children and grandkids with all that you have

I know you try to do everything on your own

Too self-reliant to ask for help on the phone

But we love you to the moon and back, it's true

Just say the word, and we'll come running to you

Since Daddy went to be with Jesus up in the sky

We've become such great friends, just you and I

You were always there for me and the boys, no matter the reason

Ready to babysit grandkids through every season

A natural caregiver, steady and deep

With a comforting love that we'll always keep

Oh, Momma Nell, with your beautiful, caring heart

Loving your children and grandkids with all that you have

I know you try to do everything on your own

Too self-reliant to ask for help on the phone

But we love you to the moon and back, it's true

Just say the word, and we'll come running to you

I know we don't visit as often as we should

And the quiet gets lonely, I know that it would

But if you ever need us, don't sit there alone

All you gotta do is pick up the phone

Say "Come get me, I'd like to stay a few days"

And we'll be right there, driving through the haze

Oh, Momma Nell, with your beautiful, caring heart

Loving your children and grandkids with all that you have

I know you try to do everything on your own

Too self-reliant to ask for help on the phone

But we love you to the moon and back, it's true

Just say you need us, and we're on our way to you
