I was born three months too early

The doctor gave me thirty days

But I must've had my mama's will

And God's amazing grace



I guess I'll keep on livin'

Even if this love's to die for

'Cause your bags are packed and I ain't cryin'

You're walkin' out and I'm not trying

To change your mind 'cause I was born to be



Chorus:

The baby girl without a chance

A victim of circumstance

The one who oughta give up, but she's just

Too hard headed

A single mom who works two jobs

Who loves her kids and never stops

With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter

I'm a survivor



I don't believe in self-pity

It only brings you down

May be the queen of broken hearts

But I don't hide behind the crown

When the deck is stacked against me

I just play a different game

My roots are planted in the past

And though my life is changin' fast

Who I am is who I wanna be



Repeat Chorus



A single mom who works two jobs

Who loves her kids and never stops

With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter

I'm a survivor



But I must've had my mama's will

And God's amazing grace
