Mamas kids their babies goodbye
They’re all grown up and you know it’s time
Mama, you’ve got to decide
Wallow in your sorrow
Or find your zest for life
The best is yet to come
Oh, your third act hasn’t even begun
Be proud of who you raised
Embrace your own place
Wide open space
Oh, the best is yet to come
Come on, turn your face to the sky
Feel the earth beneath your feet
This precious land so dry
Come on, let your wild ignite
Nothing here to hold you back
Look forward, let’s ride
Listen for the lark
Whippoorwill in the dark
Tonic air fills your lungs
Chasing the setting sun
Oh the best is yet to come
So much song still to be sung
You love this land
Dirt on your hands
You’re far from done
Oh, the best is yet to come
