The Very Blest of Jack Tannehill

Mama's Radio

Mr. DJ hold the phone
Hold one thought, Mom's heard your every show
She called me crying. She praised the Lord
She believes she heard you play my song on her radio

There was a singer, there was a song
And there was Mama trying to listen while it stormed
With thunder crashing just what she tuned in, I'm not sure
But she believes she heard you, play my song on her radio

Can you believe it? I find it hard myself, oh but it's true
Oh my mama needs this to feed her lost and found,
faith dreams do come true
Play my song on her radio. Oh Mama's Radio

Once before Mom, thought she heard my song on
this very own, your very own show but,
me I told her, I let her know
I'd like to think so but, no Mom

She couldn't believe it. It broke her heart
when she found, it just wasn't true
My Mama needs this, to feed her lost and found
faith dreams do come true
Play my song on her radio

She rocked this babe in hopes he'd rock the world
She let her young boys grow their hair
She bought us Beatle suits. I knew all hank williams tunes
long before I'd gone to school
And now it's time to pay back

I know what Mama needs now
Mama needs to hear me on her radio
Oh Mama's Radio

...she rocked this babe in hopes he'd rock the world.
