Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dad left before the rooster, lunch packed in a paper sack
Mom kept the kitchen light on, waiting for him to make it back
We had hand-me-down bicycles and a driveway full of chalk
They turned a little rented house into a place worth coming home to
[Pre-Chorus]
They'd fuss about the bills or whose turn it was to call
Then laugh beside the sink like it never happened at all
[Chorus]
My mom and dad, they gave us everything
Every worn-out hour, every little dream
They built their days around the lives we had
Made a name for us with two working hands
And if I grow to be half the pair they are
I'll carry that kind of love wherever I go
My mom and dad, the finest hearts I've known
The kind of people I hope I become
[Verse 2]
Dad fixed the porch in summer heat, Mom sewed a button back
She knew each teacher's name by heart and every favorite snack
They missed a night of sleep or two to get us where we needed
Never called it sacrifice, just said, "That's what a family does"
[Pre-Chorus]
They'd disagree in whispers, then share the same old chair
A lifetime in the choosing, showing up and staying there
[Chorus]
My mom and dad, they gave us everything
Every worn-out hour, every little dream
They built their days around the lives we had
Made a name for us with two working hands
And if I grow to be half the pair they are
I'll carry that kind of love wherever I go
My mom and dad, the finest hearts I've known
The kind of people I hope I become
[Bridge]
One day I'll see these years through their eyes
The long drives, the tight months, the late goodbyes
And I'll understand what I only know now:
They were making a future while they were making us proud
[Final Chorus]
My mom and dad, they gave us everything
Every worn-out hour, every little dream
They built their days around the lives we had
Made a name for us with two working hands
And if I grow to be half the pair they are
I'll carry that kind of love wherever I go
My mom and dad, the finest hearts I've known
The kind of people I hope I become
The kind of people I hope I become
[Outro]
They made a name for us
And taught us what love does
