Mama don't cry, don't you worry about me
I'm a little bit scared here, mama, but I'm gonna be all right
I've got the letter that you gave me folded in my pocket
I've gotta feeling like I need to read it maybe one more time
And let it ease my mind
It's a wide, wide world looking out this window
Thirty thousand feet above the ground I grew up on
Just a small town girl, out here chasing rainbows
Doing what I can to stand up on my own
You taught me well, you raised me right
So mama don't cry
I remember standin' at the end of the driveway
Lookin' down that highway wonderin' how far it goes?
And I can feel your hand restin' on my shoulder
Hear you sayin', "Baby, don't forget when you're grown
That road will always lead you home"
It's a wide, wide world looking out this window
Thirty thousand feet above the ground I grew up on
Just a small town girl, out here chasing rainbows
Doing what I can to stand up on my own
You taught me well, you raised me right
So mama don't cry
It's a wide, wide world looking out this window
Thirty thousand feet above the ground I grew up on
Just a small town girl, out here chasing rainbows
Doing what I can to stand up on my own
You taught me well, you raised me right
So mama don't cry
