[Verse]
D Bm G
Well hello, it's good to hear your voice
Em A7sus A
I hate to call so late, but I didn't have a choice
D Bm G E
I'm calling you from Dallas, headed for L A
G D A D
I wish I had more time to talk, there's so much to say
[Chorus]
Bm E7
No I ain't forgot how I was raised
A D
But I'm livin' way too fast
G A D
It's a roller coaster ride, up and down
Bm E7 A D
My new job is going great, I'm headed for the top
G Em A7sus A
I should be happy but somehow I'm not
D G D
Sometimes I think the devil has got me by the sleeve
Bm A7 D
Oh, Mama don't forget to pray for me
[Verse]
D Bm
Tell me how is the weather?
G
Have you put the garden out?
Em A7sus A7
Are the dogwoods bloomin' out behind the house?
D Bm G E
No I'm not sick, there's nothin' wrong, don't wake up Dad
G D A D
I just thought of you and home and got a little sad
[Chorus]
Bm E7
No I ain't forgot how I was raised
B D
But I'm livin' way too fast
H A D
It's a roller coaster ride, up and down
Bm E7 A D
My new job is going great, I'm headed for the top
G Em A7sus A
I should be happy but somehow I'm not
D G D
Sometimes I think the devil has got me by the sleeve
Bm A7 D
Oh, Mama don't forget to pray for me
Bm A7 D
Oh, Mama don't forget to pray for me
