Mama Don’t Forget to Pray For Me lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, hello
It's good to hear your voice
I hate to call so late
But, I didn't have a choice
I'm calling 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 living way too fast
It's a roller coaster ride
Up and down
My new job is going 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
Oh, Mama
Don't forget to pray for me

[Verse 2]
Tell me how is the weather
Have you put the garden out
Are the dogwoods blooming
Out behind the house, no
I'm not sick, there's nothing wrong
Don't wake up Dad
I just thought of you and home
And got a little sad
[Chorus]
No, I ain't forgot how I was raised
But I'm living way too fast
It's a roller coaster ride
Up and down
My new job is going 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
Oh, Mama
Don't forget to pray for me

[Outro]
Oh, Mama
Don't forget to pray for me
