lyrics

Super-hero Backpack wobbles back and forth
Out a school bus
Racing/chasing big brother back to the house
In West Virginia

Daddy makes him do his homework
Momma fixes up a snack
They don't wanna see little jack take the track
Down underground to the coal mines 'cuz

Love Protects,
Fear comes next
Cause it knows
This life gets difficult
And no matter how hard you try
You can't always keep the tears
From loved one's eyes

Nutter-butter snack falls out his momma's purse,
To the floor-mat
Working/serving drinks at a bar get some tips in her jar,
Kentucky waitress

Sober thoughts are more painful
When the bar's getting playful
Forget her life getting stable
Gotta put a meal on a table

Johnny don't understand
Johnny don't understand
Just how heavy momma's ring
Sits on her hand

If a drink keeps a smile on her face
And a bar keeps dinner on his plate
Then momma doesn't mind the bar
Then momma doesn't mind the bar
Johnny you will go real far
Johnny you will go real far 'cuz

Love protects
Fear comes next
Cause it knows
This life gets difficult
And no matter how hard you try
You can't always keep the tears
From loved one's eyes

Don't judge another,
you don't know about each other
sometimes in life you gotta do things
for the ones you love cause

Love protects
Fear comes next
Cause it knows
This life gets difficult
And no matter how hard you try
You can't always keep the tears
From loved one's eyes
