I never was the biggest or the fastest guy Never hit a homerun when the game was tied I knew from an early age I wasn't going to be A doctor or the CEO of anything So I sang: She believes in me And I played: Fire on the mountain Till I made my fingers bleed I tried to stand out from the crowd But most times I just struck out at the plate So I sang I wasn't cool enough to be a ladie's man It took me forever just to hold her hand First time we kissed, she whispered: I love you But I wasn't brave enough to say: I loved her too So I sang: You are so beautiful to me And I played every note to Faithfully I loved her with everything But I couldn't think of anything to say So I sang No one believed in me as much as Mama See, she worked overtime to buy my first guitar When the angels called her home My sister asked if I would speak But there were no words to say how much she meant to me So I sang: It is well with my soul And I played: I'm so tired of being alone 'Cause those were Mama's favorite songs And what I felt would take too long to say So I sang Yes, I sang So I sang
