๐ Lyrics
We've seen the best and we've seen the worst
Yeah, we been blessed and we've been cursed
Your mamas know that I love you both, but
They won't tell you that I tried
I try every day of my life
And it's been a test to make it here
My hope's faded through the years
But I've been holding on to the prayer and I hope that some day soon
God sees my efforts and my pain
Shows me my efforts aren't in vain
And I've played the part and I've played the fool, and I've been used
And I let them get the best of me, but it was all for you
For what it's worth, I never meant you any pain
Just so you know, I love you both just the same
We've seen the best and we've seen the worst
Yeah we been blessed and we've been cursed
But it's all been worth it, just to watch you grow boys
And I'll be a daddy 'til I die
When I die I'll keep the angels by your side
Well, I've played the part and I've played the fool, and I've been used
And I let them get the best of me, but it was all for you
For what it's worth, I never meant you any pain
Just so you know, I love you both just the same
Well, I've played the part and I've played the fool, and I've been used
And I let them get the best of me, but it was all for you
For what it's worth, I never meant you any pain
And just so you know, I love you both just the same
Yeah, we been blessed and we've been cursed
Your mamas know that I love you both, but
They won't tell you that I tried
I try every day of my life
And it's been a test to make it here
My hope's faded through the years
But I've been holding on to the prayer and I hope that some day soon
God sees my efforts and my pain
Shows me my efforts aren't in vain
And I've played the part and I've played the fool, and I've been used
And I let them get the best of me, but it was all for you
For what it's worth, I never meant you any pain
Just so you know, I love you both just the same
We've seen the best and we've seen the worst
Yeah we been blessed and we've been cursed
But it's all been worth it, just to watch you grow boys
And I'll be a daddy 'til I die
When I die I'll keep the angels by your side
Well, I've played the part and I've played the fool, and I've been used
And I let them get the best of me, but it was all for you
For what it's worth, I never meant you any pain
Just so you know, I love you both just the same
Well, I've played the part and I've played the fool, and I've been used
And I let them get the best of me, but it was all for you
For what it's worth, I never meant you any pain
And just so you know, I love you both just the same
