Three lyrics

[Verse 1]

Three weeks before I could even meet

My brother's son didn't see him turn one or two

Three months I haven't made Sunday service once

I'm out on the road praying alone

Every night for a sign that I'm doing this right

And I'm right where I'm supposed to be

[Chorus]

Mama said, "you'll be a star."

And daddy said, "you're gonna go far, all you gotta do is sing your heart out."

A lot of miles, a lot of tears

You've given me some of my best years

There's so much I had to miss out on

Six years of missing home for three minutes on the radio

[Verse 2]

Three years of wishing that he was here holding my hand

No I didn't plan for those three words

To be the ones that hurt

They don't sound the same from so far away

[Chorus]

Mama said, "you'll be a star."

And daddy said, "you're gonna go far, all you gotta do is sing your heart out."

A lot of miles, a lot of tears

You've given me some of my best years

There's so much I had to miss out on

Six years of missing home for three minutes on the radio

[Bridge]

I'll do it for the three girls

At my show, who saved up for the third row

And the three times that I heard just this week that my words Were sang by a three year old

Hairbrush for a microphone

Little girl with a dream

And that girl was me, yeah

[Chorus]

My Mama said, "you'll be a star."

And daddy said, "you're gonna go far, all you gotta do is sing your heart out."

A lot of miles, a lot of tears

You've given me my best years

There's so much I had to miss out on

Six years of missing home

But I'd spend fifty more gone for three minutes on the radio
