Mama's Love and Nova's Crash

[Verse] Mama raised me in a simple little house, With hands so rough, no room for doubt, Daddy worked the field, and I helped too, But Mama's love was the light we knew. [Verse 2] I saved up money, bought an old Chevrolet, A '74 Nova on a bright June day, Mama warned me, "Don't you drive too fast," But I had dreams of making memories last. [Chorus] Mama's tears fell like summer rain, When I let that old Nova slip in the fast lane, But no matter the scars, no matter the crash, Mama's love always brings me back. [Verse 3] Took a turn too quick on a gravel road, In the rearview mirror, tangled fears showed, Called Mama up, heart in my throat, "Son, come home," was all she wrote. [Verse 4] She met me on the driveway, arms wide open, Even though my pride was broken, She hugged me close, said, "It's just a car, But you'll always be my shining star." [Chorus] Mama's tears fell like summer rain, When I let that old Nova slip in the fast lane, But no matter the scars, no matter the crash, Mama's love always brings me back.
