Karaoké I Called Mama Tim McGraw

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 gettin' into his best years

Yeah somethin' 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

As 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' 'bout what's important

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

As 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

As I sing it for the blue sky and a couple live oak trees

I think of home

Grab my phone from my pocket

Instead of sayin' tomorrow

I'm gonna

And I call mama

And I call mama
