"What A Memory" lyrics - TRACY LAWRENCE

On the day mama died,she called daddy to her side.
And said,"i'll be goin soon ,I know its gonna hurt you both.
But, promise me before I go, you'll do what I ask of you
In a big red folgers can, hid behind the pots and pans you'll find some money that I've saved
And in the back of my dresser drawer I put away a little more for a rainy day
Go to town and buy that new guitar 'cause hes been workin awful hard to get his own
To write his songs

What a memory, oh what a memory even in her final moments mom thought of me
What a memory

She was only 35 I was 15 askin why?
The Lord took her away he must known we needed her
She was an angel here on earth I still miss her everyday.
With all her friends and half the town
And her family gathered round I bet she never felt so loved
When everybodys heads were bowed I did
Best to make her proud as I stood up and I sang rock of ages cleft for me
As I Played it on that new six string
I couldn't help but cry as we said goodbye

[Chorus]

Even in her final moments mama thought of me
What a memory, What a memory
