(Intro)  
It was Valentine’s Day, 2006,  
My now wife and I were just a couple of kids.  
Mom said, “Go on, have fun, I’ll be just fine,”  
But that was the last time I saw her alive.  

(Verse 1)  
Later that night, my sister walked in,  
Tears in her eyes and a trembling chin.  
She said, “We gotta go, Mom’s slipping away,”  
At eighteen years old, my world turned grey.  
Hit the gas, Alberta’s streets flew by,  
Shadows stretched, but I couldn’t cry.  
Pulled up front, rage pounding my chest,  
I couldn’t rest. Stormed through the doors,  
But it was too late,  
Doctors said she’d gone, I stood at her fate.  

(Chorus)  
Racing through the night, blinded by tears,  
A boy on fire, consumed by his fears.  
A heart so heavy, a soul so torn,  
Screaming for the love of the woman who’d borne.  
God, how do I say goodbye to the one who gave me life?  
Momma, you're the voice in my head when I’m lost in the night.  

(Verse 2)  
It’s been twenty years, but I still hear her voice,  
Telling me, “Stand tall, make the right choice.”  
I named my daughter after you, so you are always near,  
And when I say your name, I feel you right here.  

(Chorus)  
Racing through the night, blinded by tears,  
A boy on fire, consumed by his fears.  
A heart so heavy, a soul so torn,  
Screaming for the love of the woman who’d borne.  
God, how do I say goodbye to the one who gave me life?  
Momma, you're the voice in my head when I’m lost in the night.  

(Bridge)  
Momma, you are with me every step of the way,  
In whispers of the night and the light of the day.  
The pain doesn’t fade, but neither does your love,  
You’re my angel, Momma, watching from above.  

(Outro)  
Thank you, Mamma, for my first eighteen years,  
You taught me to be the man who still holds you near.  
Damn, I miss you. Rest easy, love, your son.  
All I’ll try to make you proud, rest easy, Mamma.

His tank was filled with high test, hell on wheels loaded down with the devil’s brew
Mountain people loved old Cross Eyed Willie when he brought them a jug or two
