[Intro]
"Adam, it's Mama. I was just callin' to check on ya. Love you, bye."
[Verse 1]
I've been meanin' to call you but I've been busy, it's been crazy
Between work and classes I barely have time to sleep
I meant to tell ya, thanks for the 50 that you mailed me for my birthday
It'll come in handy in Panama City next week
Yeah we'll have a good time and be careful, don't worry about me
[Chorus]
Well I know I don't call you near enough
It's alright don't be tearin' up
Just know I'm out here doin' fine
And you're always on my mind
[Verse 2]
I've been meanin' to call you, you won't believe it, I finally found her
I bet you started wonderin' if I'd end up alone
You're gonna love her, she's the daughter of a preacher, a third grade teacher
She's the closest thing to perfect I swear I've ever known
Are you free on Friday I'd love to bring her back home
[Chorus]
Well I know I don't call you near enough
It's alright don't be tearin' up
Just know I'm out here doin' fine
And you're always on my mind
[Verse 3]
I've been meanin' to call you, she lost her first tooth, she said to tell you
That the tooth fairy left a whole dollar right by her bed
Last week she drew a picture of grandpa fishin' in Heaven
No, I still don't think she understands
Can't imagine how quiet that house is with him gone
Mama, I promise I'll call more often from now on
[Outro]
I've been meanin' to call you
I've been meanin' to call you
Oh, I've been meanin' to call you
