The Band Perry Lyrics
"Mother Like Mine
She's the sky that holds the clouds She's
the lady of the house
A blind believer in all I dare to be
There's no safer place I've found Than
the shoulder of her white nightgown Oh,
I've got the best and the worst of her in
me
And I'd share her if I could So the wars
would all be over
'Cause she'd raise us all as friends
And no one would ever wonder If
somebody wanted them
We'd walk on grass that's greener And
our cares would all be freer
If the world had a mother like mine
She's our father's one great love She's
the one he wanted most
She's the light in the window of the
house I grew up in
She takes the midnight call She's the
bravest of us all Still, she sings in the
garden She lets her hair down in
Oh, the wars would all be over 'Cause
she'd raise us all as friends And no one
would ever wonder
If somebody wanted them
Tonight would be easier
And our dreams would all be deeper If the
world had a mother like mine
Don't go away Don't go away from me
Oh I understand She is a helping hand
Still, I have to say
She's the sky that holds the clouds She's the
lady of our house
We all need her
But no one more than me
Oh, the wars would all be over 'Cause she'd
raise us all as friends And no one would ever
wonder
If somebody wanted them
We'd walk on grass that's greener And the
dishes would all be cleaner If the world had a
mother like mine
Oh like mine
