  • 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 Writer/s: LARRY CORDLE, LARRY SHELL
