CANCER CAN

Rick Amburgey, Chris Sligh



VERSE 1:
She almost dropped phone, voice on the other line
Saying something wasn’t right, that last blood test she took
Feeling so alone, cuz this wa sn’t her first time
The only strength she finds is in the Good Book

Praying “God don’t let this be it”
And yeah that helped a little bit, but…

CHORUS:
Cancer can break your heart in two
And stop you on a dime
But that ain’t how my momma works
She made up for lost time
So she made a list, took some good advice
And did her favorite things at least a couple times
She bought some sheep and finally got a tan
Yeah nothing can change your plans
Like cancer can

VERSE 2”
She’d never been to Cabo, so she spent 2 weeks on the beach
She got her first tattoo and she tried a little homegrown green
She’s finally went to Disney, saw some movies that she’d missed
The catching up might be catching up, but she’d never lived like this

CHORUS 2:
Cancer can break your heart in two
And stop you on a dime
But that ain’t how my momma works
She made up for lost time
She took a Mustang on a mountain drive
Broke a stallion in and she survived
She put an ad up in Guitar Center to start a band
Yeah nothing can change your plans
Like cancer can

BRIDGE:
When the good Lord called her home
Wasn’t an empty seat in the house
We laughed and cried and made it through
But all anyone could talk about was how…

CHORUS 3:
Cancer can break your heart in two
And stop you on a dime
But that ain’t how my momma works
She made up for lost time
She handwrote letters to all of her friends
She said “I love you” right at the end
And she said that she saw Jesus reach out His hand
Yeah nothing can change your plans
No, nothing will change your plans
Like cancer can
