A Country Song Moms Can Appreciate
Morgan Wallen has released a deeply personal song dedicated to his mother. Titled “Thought You Should Know,” the song was co-written by Wallen, Miranda Lambert, and Nicolle Galyon. The track serves as a heartfelt thank-you letter to his mother for her unwavering love, care, and support throughout the years.
Thought You Should Know – Available on Apple Music
The lyrics of the song detail Wallen’s past choices that may have worried his mother, but in the chorus, he expresses how he has changed for the better. He sings about how his mother’s prayers have finally been answered and how he is proud of where he came from. He also expresses his gratitude for his mother’s continued love and support, even as he has found success in his career as a musician.
“I thought you should know - That all those prayers you thought you wasted on me - Must've finally made their way on through - She lets me fish whenever I want to - Yeah, I'm still proud of where I came from - Still your only damn son - Can you believe I'm on the radio? Just thought you should know,” Wallen sings with a powerful appreciation and sincerity.
The song is a beautiful tribute to the bond between a mother and son and showcases Wallen’s deep gratitude for the woman who raised him. It is a moving and emotional track that resonates with listeners who have a special bond with their mothers.
On a Personal Note:
As a mother living in what seems like constant prayer for her children, the most powerful words in the song, certainly to me, are:
“I thought you should know that all those prayers you thought you wasted on me must’ve finally made their way on through”
and these lyrics:
“I know you’ve been worryin’ about me; you’ve been losing sleep since ’93”
