It was 4PM when my sister called
Said, "Mama had a heart attack - they don't know it all."
So Kathryn grabbed the babies, I grabbed the keys
Threw bags in the back, prayed on my knees
We flew down I-20 like a rolling prayer
Chasing the moments, hoping she'd still be there
'Cause she's the steel in my spine, the fire in my soul
She's held me together when I lost control
Raised me on grace, stubborn love, and grit
Been battling cancer and never once quit
Yeah, she's a little wild, a whole lotta tough
When the world gave up, she said, "That's not enough"
So I drove to Mississippi just to hold her hand
To tell Nanny her boy still needs his biggest fan
Brenda's got a laugh that can cut through pain
And a cuss word ready when folks act insane
She's danced through chemo, smiled through scars
Flipped off the odds and raised the bar
She's a prayer warrior with a fighter's heart
Been writing her story from the very start
She's the voice on the line when I'm breaking down
The arms that held me when no one was around
Taught me to fight and to forgive
And how to love harder with less to give
Yeah, she's a little fire, a whole lotta grace
Still makes the angels laugh and the devil give chase
And though I'm in Georgia now, she's still my light
Shining strong in Ripley every night
I see her in Abel's fearless grin
In Elijah's stubborn, wild within
In little Scotland's quiet strength
Nanny's love goes the longest length
Yeah, she's the steel in my spine, the fire in my soul
She's the reason I know how to take control
Raised me on faith and a don't-quit heart
A Mississippi woman with a work-of-art spark
I don't see her much, but she's always near
In every brave moment, I feel her here
So we drove that day through miles and fear
For the woman who's been my strength for all these years
We drove to Mississippi just to hold her hand
Still her little boy... still her biggest fan
