Mamie

Looking in the mirror, I know who I am

A genuine spirit with a steady hand

I love to laugh, I love to keep it real

That’s just the way that Mamie makes you feel

Surrounded by the friends I made along the way

We turn the heavy nights into the brightest days

Got a heart full of jokes and a welcoming door

And I couldn't really ask for anything more

I got my kids and my grandkids keeping me young

A beautiful family, look at what we've done

And though I'm missing my Mama and the ones who flew away

My sweet grandson and the angels who couldn't stay

I carry their light, it's making me whole

Just Mamie living with a genuine soul

We built a house of joy, we built it on a smile

Every single memory makes the journey worthwhile

I think about my Mama, I wish that she was here

But I feel her in the room whenever family is near

I miss my baby boy, the tears sometimes fall

But the time that we had is the best gift of all

I keep the fun going, I keep my head high

For the ones right beside me and the ones in the sky

I got my kids and my grandkids keeping me young

A beautiful family, look at what we've done

And though I'm missing my Mama and the ones who flew away

My sweet grandson and the angels who couldn't stay

I carry their light, it's making me whole

Just Mamie living with a genuine soul

The tears might fall, but the laughter remains

The sunshine is coming right after the rain

I’m holding on to the jokes and the good times we share

Because love never leaves, it’s just breathing in the air

Yeah, the roots run deep and the branches grow strong

This family is the place where my spirit belongs

I got my kids and my grandkids keeping me young

A beautiful family, look at what we've done

And though I'm missing my Mama and the ones who flew away

My sweet grandson and the angels who couldn't stay

I carry their light, it's making me whole

Yeah, it's Mamie living with a genuine soul

I'm gonna keep on shining with a genuine soul
