Momma didn't know what to do with a boy like me She was always so scared of what the church might see She's come a long way Yeah she's growing everyday She's the shining example For all these wooden pews full Of mommas With boys like me Because a boy like me Sparkles like a star in the middle of a midnight town Dancing somewhere between Standing with pride And making my momma proud To have a boy like me Momma didn't know what to do when I spoke my truth She said I'm caught somewhere between loving you And what that Bible says All I know is that There ain't no amount of hate Or words written on page That could tell me what to do With a boy like you Because a boy like me Sparkles like a star in the middle of a midnight town Dancing somewhere between Standing with pride And making my momma proud To have a boy like me I didn't know what I was doin way back then I could've given up the ghost and lost it all in the end But my momma said With a Bible in her hand We're living validation God makes no mistakes son I don't know what I'd do Without a boy like you
