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 mindIt'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 cryI 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
