Mama, been thinking about you

Can't live without you, try everyday

Think about you in the evening, think about you in the morning

Think about you when I'm on the run, take the pain away

Mama, left me all alone now,
Bm
Left me on my own now, hard not to die
Em
I been livin on a barstool, been actin like a damn fool
Bm Em
When I hear a word about you, break down and cry

You were faster than a locomotive had to run it on down the bend

Left the station in the morning mama and you're never comin back again
Bm Em
You been goin up to New York, goin down to Denver
Bm
See you mama in Laredo, then my baby gone

On that lonely Estacado lord I'm gunna see you once again
Em Bm
Hear that lonely Desperado blowing with the hammer on that Win

Another highway, another hotel, runnin down to Tennessee
Em
If you don't find what you're lookin for mama better come on back to me,
Bm
you better come on home

Mama, been livin in hurt now,
Bm
Laid my body in the dirt now, where the cotton grows
Bm Em
I've been going full throttle, to the bottle of a bottle
Bm Em
Will it ever be the same lord, nobody knows
Bm
I've been trying to get my act together but I'm living in a world of woe
Bm
Laid my body in the cemetary don't you think about me anymore
Em
She been goin up to Dallas, Goin down to Houston
Bm
See you mama in Knoxville, then my baby gone

On that lonely Estacado lord I'm gunna see you once again

You better come on home
