Lyric Mama Don t Forget To Pray For Me

(Larry Shell/Larry Cordle)

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

No I ain t forgot how I was raised
But I m livin 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

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 nothin wrong, don t wake up Dad
I just thought of you and home and got a little sad

No I ain t forgot how I was raised
But I m livin 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
Oh, sometimes I think the devil has got me by the sleeve
Oh, Mama don t forget to pray for me
Oh, Mama don t forget to pray for me
