  • Well its been a year and there so much to tell
    Been doing alright in spite of myself
    Just wish I could stop feeling bad when I pray
    But I know I'm gonna get there someday

    Got that job I was dreaming about
    Sometimes its tough traveling around
    But who I wanna be still seems so far away
    But I know I'm gonna get there someday

    glad I told you all I meant to
    While I had the chance
    Cause every moment I had with you
    Made me who I am

    by the way, I met someone new
    And wouldn't you know, she's a whole lot like you
    Still I ain't ready to settle down in one place
    But I know I'm gonna get there someday

    well I guess I'll be moving on
    I'll just leave these daisies by your stone
    And momma, I still miss you every day
    But I know I'm gonna get there someday

    when that'll be, guess only God can say
    But I know I'm gonna get there someday Writer/s: BRETT BEAVERS, DERIC RUTTAN, DIERKS BENTLEY

  • Kerri Kaye from Lawson, MissouriI always took my mother for granted. She was mentally ill and my Dad was out on the road alot and how I reacted to her abuse...just made it worse. Daddy's passed. Mom's got dementia...perspective is a powerful thing....
  • Jessie from Simsboro, LaI absolutely love this Song I lost my mom last year and it has been very hard for me to geal with and my sister sent this song to me and all I can say is this song hits home
  • Danielle from Kearney, NeThis song reminds me of a friend who lost his mother a few years ago. It reminds me of how much my own means to me.
