Better Than That

When I was ten my parents go divorced but that was fine by me
For years the [?] our door for all my friends to see
So alone my mama raised the four of us never looking back
Mama said she did the best she could but she did better than that

Mama kept us fed, kept us dressed and kept us warm
Working double shifts with one night off as a reward
Mama said she did the best she could but she did better than that

It was hard on us the first few years, now I understand
That the man she married much too young wasn't worth a damn
And that her leaving took the strength of twenty men and Mr. that's a fact
Mama said she did the best she could but she did better than that

Now I want to thank her for her firm but gentle hand
Without her I would not be woman that I am
Mama said she did the best she could but she did better than that

Now I want to thank her for her firm but gentle hand
Without her I would not be woman that I am
Mama said she did the best she could but she did better than that
Mama said she did the best she could but she did better than that
