Thought You Should Know lyrics

[Verse 1]
What's goin' on, Mama? Somethin' just dawned on me
I ain't been home in some months
Been chasin' songs and women, makin' some bad decisions
God knows I'm drinkin' too much

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I know you've been worryin' 'bout me
You've been losin' sleep since '93

[Chorus]
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 there 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

[Verse 2]
Oh, by the way, Mama, didn't mean to ramblе on ya
How's everything back at home?
Yеah, how's that garden comin'? Is Dad still doin' dumb sh*t?
And how'd he keep you this long?

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I'm sorry that I called you so late
I just miss you, but anyways
[Chorus]
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 there 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

[Bridge]
Yeah, I know you've been worryin' 'bout me
You've been losin' sleep since '93

[Chorus]
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, 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
Just thought you should know, thought you should know, thought you should know

[Outro]
I thought you should know
Thought you should know
I thought you should know
Thought you should know
Thought you should know
