Hey Mama it's me
How's everything
Yea I know you miss me
It's alright, I got enough money
But say your prayers for me
Lord knows I need a few
The city life ain't what it seems
and my dreams still ain't come true

I'm getting old
oh I know
I'm getting old
But I got a long ways to go

Cuz life's dealt me a damn good hand
kicked me down but I got up again
fall down once, get up twice
and I thank God most every night cuz
Hey Hey, Mama
I'm doing alright

Oh yea, Mama I'm just fine
the truck still runs alright
talked to Dad just the other night
and how's that nephew of mine
The bottles done caught up to me
can't drink like I used to
but I found a girl who done set me free
we spend Sundays in a church pew

I'm getting old
Oh I know
I'm getting old
but I got a long ways to go

Cuz life's dealt me a damn good hand
kicked me down but I got up again
fall down once, get up twice
and I thank God most every night cuz
Hey Hey, Mama
I'm doing alright

I'm getting old
oh I know
I'm getting old
