What′s goin' on, Mama?

Something just dawned on me

I ain′t been home in some monthsBeen chasin' songs and women

Makin' some bad decisions

God knows I′m drinkin′ too much

Yeah, I know you've been worrying ′bout me

You've been losin′ sleep since '93

I thought you should know

That all those prayers you thought you wasted on me

Must′ve finally made their way on through

I thought you should know

I got me a new girl down in Jefferson City, and

She lets me fish whenever I want to

Yeah, I'm still proud of where I came from

Still your only damn son

Can you believe I'm on the radio?

Just thought you should know

Thought you should know

Thought you should know

Oh, by the way, Momma, didn′t mean to ramble on ya

How′s everything back at home?

Yeah, how's that garden comin′?

Is dad still doing dumb shit?

And how'd he keep you this long?

Yeah, I′m sorry that I called you so late

I just miss you but anyways

I thought you should know

That all those prayers you thought you wasted on me

Must've finally made their way on through

I thought you should know

I got me a new girl down in Jefferson City, and

She lets me fish whenever I want to

Yeah, I′m still proud of where I came from

Still your only damn son

That all those prayers you thought you wasted on me

Must′ve finally made their way on through

I thought you should know

That I really like this girl down in Jefferson City, and

It turns out she's a lot like you

Yeah, I′m still proud of where I came from

Still your only damn son

The bus is leavin' so I gotta roll
