Thought You Should Know

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 [A7should know
That all [Em]those prayers you [A7thought you [A7wasted on [C7]me
Must've finally made their way on [C7]through
I thought you [A7should know
I got [Fm7]me a new girl down in Jefferson [C7]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 [A7believe I'm on [C7]the ɾadio?
Just thought you [A7should know, thought you [A7should know, thought you [A7should know

Oh, by the way, mama, didn't mean to [C7]ɾamble on [C7]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 [A7this long?
Yeah, I'm sorry that I called you [A7so late
I just miss you [A7but anyways

I thought you [A7should know
That all [Em]those prayers you [A7thought you [A7wasted on [C7]me
Must've finally made their way on [C7]through
