(larry shell/larry cordle)
Well hello, its good to hear your voice
I hate to call so late, but I didnt have a choice
Im calling you from dallas, headed for l.a.
I wish I had more time to talk, theres so much to say
No I aint forgot how I was raised
But Im livin way too fast
Its a roller coaster ride, up and down
My new job is going great, Im headed for the top
I should be happy but somehow Im not
Sometimes I think the devil has got me by the sleeve
Oh, mama dont 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 Im not sick, theres nothin wrong, dont wake up dad
I just thought of you and home and got a little sad
No I aint forgot how I was raised
But Im livin way too fast
Its a roller coaster ride, up and down
My new job is going great, Im headed for the top
I should be happy but somehow Im not
Oh, sometimes I think the devil has got me by the sleeve
Oh, mama dont forget to pray for me
Oh, mama dont forget to pray for me
