The Best of the Jo-Girls

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a story that began With open arms and second chance A little girl with eyes so bright Walked into my world one night Five brothers couldn't hold a flame To the spark inside her name [Chorus] Oh, my girl, my own, my heart You've been a light right from the start Through the storms and stubborn years Through the laughter and the tears You became my dearest friend A love that has no end [Verse 2] Those teenage days near broke us both But love kept holding, kept its oath Now you're a mama, now you're a wife Building beautiful in this life Three point five eight, you walked that stage Turning every single page [Chorus] Oh, Anna Jo, my own, my heart You've been a light right from the start Through the storms and stubborn years Through the laughter and the tears You became my dearest friend A love that has no end [Bridge] You carry every Jo before you Strong women's blood runs right on through you And when the fight came hard for me You were the hands that set me free [Verse 3] You're sass and smarts and Sunday grace You're home, you're prayer, you're sacred space Still a little broken, still so brave The strongest soul this world's been gave Happy birthday, my darling one Look at all that you've become [Chorus] Oh, Anna Jo, my own, my heart You've been a light right from the start Through the storms and stubborn years Through the laughter and the tears You became my dearest friend A love that has no end [Outro] Anna Jo, you are adored More than dreamed, more than hoped for I'm your mama, always here Always, always, always near
