Missin' Momma at Neyland

Lyrics

[Verse]
Little Harper cries by the front screen door,
Her momma's off to watch the Volunteers score,
She clutches tight to her raggedy bear,
Wishin' Momma was still here, brushing her hair.

[Verse 2]
Neyland Stadium roars through the night,
Momma's there, bathed in the bright lights,
But Harper's just a girl, feelin' so stuck,
Missin' bedtime kisses and that little goodnight tuck.

[Chorus]
"Come back home, Momma," Harper softly pleads,
Daddy tries his best, but it’s Momma she needs,
In her little heart, there’s a big, empty space,
She just wants to see her momma's smiling face.

[Verse 3]
The radio sings of touchdowns and more,
While Harper's heart feels heavy and sore,
Daddy's in the kitchen, whippin' up her favorite stew,
But it ain’t the same when she's feelin' blue.

[Chorus]
"Come back home, Momma," Harper softly pleads,
Daddy tries his best, but it’s Momma she needs,
In her little heart, there’s a big, empty space,
She just wants to see her momma's smiling face.

[Verse 4]
Moonlight spills on her bedroom floor,
Harper dreams of Momma walking through that door,
Tennessee nights feel longer and rough,
When a whiny little girl is missing her momma's love.
