I Called Mama

Got a call from a friend about a friendWith some news no one ever wants to hearIt hit me like a punch, it took my breathHe was just gettin' into his best yearsYeah, somethin' like that'll shake you upWake you upSo I stopped off at a Texaco, bought a Slim Jim and a cokeParked out by the water just to watch that river flowGrabbed my guitar from the back seat, wrote a song just for meAnd I sung it for the blue sky and a couple live oak treesI thought of home, grabbed my phone from my pocketAnd I called mamaIt rang a couple times, and she picked upI can always hear her smile when I callI just called to tell you that I loved youI was missing you and dad and home, that's allI got to really thinking this morningAbout what's importantSo I stopped off at a Texaco, bought a Slim Jim and a cokeParked out by the water just to watch that river flowGrabbed my guitar from the back seat, wrote a song just for meAnd I sung it for the blue sky and a couple live oak treesI thought of home, grabbed my phone from my pocketAnd I called mamaAnd from now onI ain't gonna wait so longTo stop off at a Texaco, buy a Slim Jim and a cokePark out by the water just to watch that river flowGrab my guitar from the back seat, write a song just for meSing it for the blue sky and a couple live oak treesI think of home, grab my phone from my pocketInstead of sayin' tomorrow, I'm gonnaAnd I called mamaAnd I called mama
