What's goin' on, mama?
+
Something just dawned on me
+
I ain't been home in some months
+
Been chasin' songs and women
+
Makin' some bad decisions
+
God knows I'm drinkin' too much
+
Yeah, I know you've been worrying 'bout me
+
You've been losin' 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 there in Jefferson City, and
+
She lets 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
+

Must've finally made their way on through

I thought you should know
+
That I really like this girl down in Jefferson City, and
+
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 leavin' 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
