|
He could never pay her back
|
For all she's done for him
|
She never asked for more
|
Than what he could afford to spend back then
|
And when the business got him down
|
She wouldn't let him quit
|
She'd say, "I believe someday you'll make it big
|
All you need's a hit"
|
|
She often had to work two jobs
|
So he could play at night
|
He'd chase his dream while she'd come home
|
Too tired sometimes to eat a bite
|
If give up came up, she'd say
|
"Hon, I love you, don't forget
|
I believe someday you'll finally make it big
|
All you need's a hit"
|
|
Then one day it hit him
|
Like a bolt out of the blue
|
He said, "What am I searching for
|
so hard when I have you
|
So he wrote her down on paper
|
And he put a tune to it
|
The inspiration for the one that made him big
|
She was his greatest hit
