Hey mama
Just gotta tell you
That I love you
From the bottom of my heart
I'm so thankful
That I have you
While I have you
It's so hard
Being so far away
I miss you everyday, yeah
Even when I don't call
I hope you're doing okay
You're a thousand miles away and
Nothing feels the same without you here to roll your eyes
Big surprise

Hey mama

Hey mama

When you gonna come out to Cali, I
Wanna show you my place in the Valley it's
Pretty nice but most times
I wish
I was back in the Lou with the family, I
Never knew how much you really taught me 'til
I moved away and met some people that ain't have no chill
Poppin pills, chasing thrills, and that's for real, yeah
A day at the beach ain't the same as a day at the lake
And make no mistake, I've been here chasing waves
I've stayed awake, counting the planes
Working away
Until the day I can buy you a house
Right down the street, here in town
Borrow some milk in the morning
Existence was boring
'Til you came around

Hey mama
Just gotta tell you
That I love you
From the bottom of my heart
I'm so thankful
That I have you
While I have you
It's so hard
Being so far away
I miss you everyday, yeah
Even when I don't call
I hope you're doing okay
You're a thousand miles away and
Nothing feels the same without you here to roll your eyes
Big surprise
Hey mama
