Mama Don't Forget to Pray for Me

Well, hello, it's good to hear your voice

I hate to call so late, but I didn't have a choice

I'm callin' you from Dallas, headed for L.A.

I wish I had more time to talk, there's so much to say

No, I ain't forgot how I was raised

But I'm livin' way too fast

It's a roller coaster ride, up and down

My new job is goin' great, I'm headed for the top

I should be happy, but somehow I'm not

Sometimes I think the devil has got me by the sleeve

Oh, Mama, don't forget to pray for me

Tell me, how is the weather?

Have you put the garden out?

Are the dogwoods bloomin' out behind the house?

No, I'm not sick, there's nothin' wrong, don't wake up Dad

I just thought of you and home and got a little sad

No, I ain't forgot how I was raised

But I'm livin' way too fast

It's a roller coaster ride, up and down

My new job is goin' great, I'm headed for the top

I should be happy but somehow I'm not

Oh, sometimes I think the devil has got me by the sleeve

Oh, Mama, don't forget to pray for me

Oh, Mama, don't forget to pray for me
