Neal E. Boyd - America's Got Talent

Okay. I admit it. I cried.

Neal is from Sikeston, Missouri--my neck of the woods of Southeast Missouri. Naturally, I was rooting for him to be win before I ever listened to him. To my wonderful surprise, he is totally awesome!

Sikeston, Missouri, is well known as the home of the throwed rolls at Lambert's Cafe. People come from far and wide to eat there just have have rolls thrown at them! It is great fun.

I found that Neal has his own website! Sheryl Crow is also from Southeast Missouri.

I just wanted to know what the song was and where he got it from. It made me cry. What mother wouldn't want their child speaking these words to them!

Lyrics to Mama :
Mama, thank you for who I am
Thank you for all the things I'm not
Forgive me for the words unsaid
For the times I forgot

Mama remember all my life
You showed me love, you sacrificed
Think of those young and early days
How I've changed along the way [along the way]

And I know you believed
And I know you had dreams
And I'm sorry it took all this time to see
That I am where I am because of your truth
And I miss you, yeah I miss you

Mama forgive the times you cried
Forgive me for not making right
All of the storms I may have caused
And I've been wrong, Dry your eyes [dry your eyes]

Cause I know you believed
And I know you had dreams
And I'm sorry it took all this time to see
That I am where I am because of your truth
And I miss you, I miss you

Mama I hope this makes you smile
I hope you're happy with my life
At peace with every choice I made
How I've changed along the way [along the way]

Cause I know you believed in all of my dreams
And I owe it all to you, Mama
