Every Game, You Showed Up

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You had bills stacked by the kitchen phone And a long week waiting when you got home Still you’d find your keys, your old blue coat And ask me how my Saturday went [Pre-Chorus] The world could lean hard on your shoulders You’d lift your chin and say, “I’m here” [Chorus] You wore that smile through the hardest days Made the drive and found your place Every kickoff, every muddy field You were there, and that made it real When life kept asking more than you could give You showed me how to stand and live Mom, in every crowd, I knew I could look up and find you [Verse 2] Rain on the windshield, cold in the stands You clapped with red fingers, waved both hands I’d look your way after a missed play And somehow the worry would fall away [Pre-Chorus] You never needed a perfect season Just to see me give my best [Chorus] You wore that smile through the hardest days Made the drive and found your place Every kickoff, every muddy field You were there, and that made it real When life kept asking more than you could give You showed me how to stand and live Mom, in every crowd, I knew I could look up and find you [Bridge] I know now what those miles must’ve cost The plans you changed, the sleep you lost You carried plenty no one could see And still made room to believe in me [Final Chorus] You wore that smile through the hardest days Made the drive and found your place Every kickoff, every muddy field You were there, and that made it real When life kept asking more than you could give You showed me how to stand and live Mom, no matter where I go Your love is the first home I know [Outro] One last wave from the bleachers above Every game, you showed up with love
