Childhood memories
Lyrics
Momma I'll Never Be Like Him 2006 Jody Dickey/Ben Burton/Ric Ledford Momma...it's been awhile, since we talked things through But some memories still haunt me; I had to be near you I was thinking of the bad times, when I used to pray That daddy would stop hurting you, how I wished he'd go away (c) Momma I'll never be like him, that's a promise I will keep I thank you for who I am; that your warm heart is in me In my loving tender arms, my family will always be I will never hurt them, 'cause Momma...I'll never be like him (V) The sad day came when I was ten, I found you lying on the floor You told me not to worry; soon you'd be at Heaven's door He could never hurt you up there and one day soon I'd understand "You'll have a family of your own, be a gentle loving man" (Chorus) (v) I've brought you some dandelions and forget-me-nots today I know how much you love them; I remember how you used to say You'd grow them up in Heaven and be near them all of the time I guess you knew what he would do, and someday he'd cross that line (Chorus) Bridge I put the flowers on your headstone, I feel your smile warm as the sun You know my home is filled with love, I pray there are flowers up above Repeat chorus
