Got a call from a friend about a friend
It's news no one ever wants to hear
It hit me like a punch it took my breath
He was just gettin' into his best years
Yeah something like that'll shake you up wake you up
So I stopped off at a Texaco bought a Slim Jim and a coke
Parked out by the water just to watch that river flow
Grabbed my guitar from the back seat wrote a song just for me
And I sung it for the blue sky and a couple live oak trees
I thought of home grabbed my phone from my pocket
And I called mama
It rang a couple times and she picked up
I can always hear her smile when I call
I just called to tell you that I loved you
I was missing you and dad
I got to really thinking this morning
About what's important
So I stopped off at a Texaco bought a Slim Jim and a coke
Parked out by the water just to watch that river flow
Grabbed my guitar from the back seat wrote a song just for me
And I sung it for the blue sky and a couple live oak trees
I thought of home grabbed my phone from my pocket
And I called mama
And from now on
I ain't gonna wait so long
To stop by the Texaco buy a Slim Jim and a coke
Park out by the water just to watch that river flow
Grab my guitar from the back seat write a song just for me
Sing it for the blue sky and the couple oak live trees
And think of home grabbed my phone from my pocket
Instead of saying tomorrow I'm gonna
And I called mama
And I called mama
