🎸 Verse :
G minorGm
Didn't know how many sweaters and hoodies I had
FF
'Til I packed 'em in a box

Momma tried to hide the tears in her eyes
FF
As I threw 'em in the back of the truck

As she hugged me tight I knew I'd have to be the first to let go

'Fore I drove away I heard her say be safe and baby
