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 say      Chorus   No I ain't forgot how i was raised   but I'm livin way to fast   It's a rollercoaster 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   mama don't 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 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 sad      Chorus   mama don't forget to pray for me
