What's goin' on mama?

Something just dawned on me

God knows I'm drinking too much

Yeah, I know you've been worrying 'bout me
Am7
You've been losing sleep since '93
[Chorus]
G D/F# Am7
I thought you should know that all those prayers you thought you wasted on me
G D/F# Am7
Must've finally made their way on through
G D/F# Am7
I thought you should know I got me a new girl down there in Jefferson City and
G D/F# Am7
She lets me fish whenever I want to

Still your only damn son

Didn't mean to ramble on ya

How's everything back at home?
