Thought You Should Know

(álbum: One Thing At A Time - 2023)

What's going on, Mama?
Something just dawned on me
I ain't been home in some months
Been chasing songs and women
Making some bad decisions
God knows I'm drinking too much
Yeah, I know you've been worrying 'bout me
You've been losing sleep since '93

I thought you should know
That all those prayers you thought you wasted on me
Must've finally made their way on through
I thought you should know
I got me a new girl down in Jefferson City, and
She let's me fish whenever I want to
Yeah, I'm still proud of where I came from
Still your only damn son
Can you believe I'm on the radio?
Just thought you should know
Thought you should know, thought you should know

Oh, by the way, Mama
Didn't mean to ramble on ya
How's everything back at home?
Yeah, how's that garden comin'?
Is dad still doing dumb shit?
And how'd he keep you this long?
Yeah, I'm sorry that I called you so late
I just miss you, but anyways

I thought you should know
That all those prayers you thought you wasted on me
Must've finally made their way on through
I thought you should know
I got me a new girl down in Jefferson City, and
She let's me fish whenever I want to
Yeah, I'm still proud of where I came from
Still your only damn son
Can you believe I'm on the radio?
Just thought you should know
Thought you should know, thought you should know

Yeah, I know you've been worrying 'bout me
You've been losing sleep since '93

I thought you should know
That all those prayers you thought you wasted on me
Must've finally made their way on through

I thought you should know
That I really like this girl down in Jefferson City, and
It turns out, she's a lot like you
Yeah, I'm still proud of where I came from
Still your only damn son
The bus is leaving, so I gotta roll
Just thought you should know
Thought you should know, thought you should know
I thought you should know, thought you should know
I thought you should know, thought you should know
Thought you should know
