I Wanna Thank You - Darius Rucker

I remember when I was five

Runnin' round, happy just to be alive

I’d cry whenever you left

Thought you weren’t coming back

See, Daddy wasn’t there

I remember when I was ten

Hiding in the kitchen just to hear you sing

You’d smile when I sang along

Belting out the new Al Green song

I’m so thankful God sent me to you

Times were tough but you pulled us right through

And I think about you every day, every day

And, Momma, straight from my heart

I wanna thank you

I remember when I was sixteen

Dodging trouble, chasing dreams

You were there to cheer me on

Pick me up when everything went wrong

I’m so thankful God sent me to you

Times were tough but you pulled us right through

And I think about you every day, every day

And, Momma, straight from my heart

I wanna thank you

Here I am, a man all grown

Settled down, got some kids of my own

Sometimes I remind me of you

Puts a smile on my face when I do

I’m so thankful God sent me to you

Times were tough but you pulled us right through

And I think about you every day, every day

And, Momma, straight from my heart

I wanna thank you

And, Momma, straight from my heart

I wanna thank you

Thank you, thank you, Momma
