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 sayNo, 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
Ohh Mama, don't forget to pray for meTell 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 nothing wrong, nah don't wake up dad
I just thought of you and home and got a little sadNo, 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
Ohh sometimes, I think the Devil has got me by the sleeve
Ohh Mama, don't forget to pray for meOhh Mama, don't forget to pray for me
