Phone Calls With Mom

Most folks say, how'd you raise

Such a damn nice guy

You were walking with your head in the sunshine

Keeping all the sad inside

Could it be the way

We buried pain

With too much talk and no quiet

Are you lost again on a dead end

In the maze of your worried mind?

Baby how'd you get to Nevada

I found a job over minimum wage

All the tourists got the money in Tahoe

Gazing at the big blue lake

How's Katie doing down in Reno?

She always begs me to stay

How you gonna roll through all that snow

You'll spin out on the interstate

It's been one long day

Since the good lord came

I know one day

You'll get another good dog

I could put up my home

Head out on the road

Surprise you wherever you are

..

It was high times

I loved that man

It was the sun through the window on his bare hands

Years it took for me to understand

I guess I was a little late

It's good weather for a drive in the slow lane

Big moon baby can you feel the weight

Go on rest your eyes in another state

I am just a phone call away

It's hard times when your heart is closed

Wanna see the bigger picture

But the picture's froze

Could you take a breath

Count your toes?

Learn how to meditate?

It's been one long day

Since the good lord came

I know one day

You'll get another good dog

I could put up my home

Head out on the road

Surprise you wherever you are
