Whatever She Sees In Me

Momma worked four-twelves at the ER
Some nights sister made dinner
Single parent house in a Bible Belt town
We were always a little bit different
And I was her wild child by a country mile
A hell-raising natural-born sinner
But I was her baby, too
She said son, I believe in you

She sees the right in all my wrongs
She sees the best in everyone
She says I'm right on track
And when I'm not, she brings me back
She sees what only angels can
She sees me better than I am
Every day I'm still tryna be
Whatever she sees in me

Had a heartbreak, took it real bad
Ended up six months in a rehab
Sober was a hard thing
Till I found a six-string
Still wish daddy coulda seen that
Yeah, but momma did
Front row saying, "That's my kid"

She sees the right in all my wrongs
She sees the best in everyone
She says I'm right on track
And when I'm not, she brings me back
She sees what only angels can
She sees me better than I am
Every day I'm still tryna be
Whatever she sees in me
Whatever she sees in me

I'm a long shot, I'm a train wreck
She ain't gave up on me yet

She sees the right in all my wrongs
She sees the best in everyone
She says I'm right on track
And when I'm not, she brings me back
She sees what only angels can
She sees me better than I am
Every day I'm still tryna be
Whatever she sees in me

I'm a long shot, I'm a train wreck
She ain't gave up on me yet
