[Verse 1] Mom, I just want to say How much I love you still How much I see your kindness How much you made me feel You’ve carried so much with grace And I’ve watched you through the years So if I never say it enough I hope you hear me clear [Pre-Chorus] It was my great honor To take you on that ride Down to Gulf Shores, Alabama With you right by my side [Chorus] Gulf Shores, Alabama That trip meant the world to me Gulf Shores, Alabama I hope you felt the love I see Sorry for the aches and pains I’d do it all again Gulf Shores, Alabama With my mom, my best friend [Verse 2] My favorite part of all Was day one by the sea When I walked out on the beach With my mom right there with me The sand was under our feet The wind was in our hair And I knew in that one moment I was blessed to have you there [Pre-Chorus] It was my great honor To make that memory shine A little time together And a lifetime in my mind [Chorus] Gulf Shores, Alabama That trip meant the world to me Gulf Shores, Alabama I hope you felt the love I see Sorry for the aches and pains I’d do it all again Gulf Shores, Alabama With my mom, my best friend [Bridge] If the road got long on you If your body felt the strain I hope the good outweighed Every little ache and pain Because your smile on that shoreline Was worth more than words can say And I’ll carry that soft first morning In my heart every day [Final Chorus] Gulf Shores, Alabama That trip meant the world to me Gulf Shores, Alabama I hope you felt the love I see Sorry for the aches and pains And thank you for that day Gulf Shores, Alabama You made it special, Mom, for me
