Mama I Should Call Songtext
There’s seagulls in the alley living off bugs and trash
I feel the last rays of summer shining on my broken ass
Oh, mama i should call ya, tell you why it's been so long
But mama you have seen every late night dream roll over when the sun comes on

Some women hold me like I'm wicked, some hold me like I’m a saint
Sometimes they can hear my heartbeat, ooh, and sometimes they can't
Oh, mama I should call ya, and tell you how they’ve been to your boy
But Mama, there's too much, or never enough
To dig out what's left of my joy

I just keep on erasing
I hear that reaper pacing, waiting for his time
For me to close my eyes

Running from your demons sometimes feels like swimming through air
You beg the darkness to help you, oh, but it's the darkness that put 'em there
Oh, mama I should call ya, let you convince me to give it just one more day
But mama you’d agree, while this life is sweet it's just not to everybody

Folks love a resurrection
I got no objection
Let every good lord rise, and I'll close my eyes
