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
