Lyrics
“Tim McGraw - I
Called Mama”
I got a call from a friend,
about a friend
It's the news no one ever wants to hear
It hit me like a punch
It took my breath
He was just getting into his best years.
Yeah, something like that'll shake you up
Wake you up.
So I stopped off at a Texaco
Bought a Slim Jim, and a Coke
Parked out by the water just to watch that river flow.
Grabbed my guitar from the back seat
Wrote a song just for me
And I sung it. for the blue sky
And a couple live oak trees
I thought of home, grabbed my phone from my pocket.
And I called mama.
It rang a couple times and she picked up
I can always hear. her smile when I call
I just called to tell you that I loved you
I was missin' you, and dad, and home, that's all.
I got to really thinkin' this mornin'
About what's important.
So I stopped off at a Texaco
Bought a Slim Jim and a Coke
Parked out by the water just to watch that river flow.
Grabbed my guitar from the back seat
Wrote a song just, for me
And I sung it for the blue sky
And a couple, live oak trees
I thought of home, grabbed my phone from my pocket
And I called mama.
And from now on
I ain't gonna wait so long.
To stop off at a Texaco
Buy a Slim Jim and a Coke
Park out by the water, just to watch that river flow.
Grab my guitar from the back seat
Write a song, just for me
Sing it for the blue sky
And a couple live oak trees
And think of home, grab my phone from my pocket
Instead of saying tomorrow I'm gonna
And I call mama
And I call mama.
It's the news no one ever wants to hear
It hit me like a punch
It took my breath
He was just getting into his best years.
Yeah, something like that'll shake you up
Wake you up.
So I stopped off at a Texaco
Bought a Slim Jim, and a Coke
Parked out by the water just to watch that river flow.
Grabbed my guitar from the back seat
Wrote a song just for me
And I sung it. for the blue sky
And a couple live oak trees
I thought of home, grabbed my phone from my pocket.
And I called mama.
It rang a couple times and she picked up

And I call mama.
