Hey mama, I made it out of that old town

Life's sure been changing

I'm just trying to hold it down

They say the stars out here are the stars out there

but I can't see a thing tonight

Hey mama, I made it to the city lights

but my memory's fading

Remind me what it's like

They say the stars out here, I might be one someday,

but I sure don't feel like one tonight

Is dad still out there on the front porch burning one with coffee,

wondering where I am today?

Are you sitting on the sofa watching Andy Griffith eating dinner off a TV tray?

I don't wanna lie, so I ain't got a lot to say

Hey mama, I made it

I'm with the in crowd now

They know what my name is

Yeah, you'd be so proud

How are the boys back home?

Tell them to hit my phone

or maybe I should just give them a shout

I bet they're out there on the water,

cheap beer and a bobber,

probably ain't caught a thing

Do you still feed them when they check in?

Boots all in your kitchen, huddled around a TV tray

I've been doing fine but damn, I miss the good old days

Is dad still out there on the front porch burning one with coffee,

wondering where I am today?

Are you sitting on the sofa watching Wheel of Fortune eating dinner off a TV tray?

I don't wanna lie, so I ain't got a lot to say

I've been doing fine but damn, I'm missing home these days

Hey mama, I made it
