[Verse] Well hello it’s good to hear your voice        I hate to call so late but I didn’t have a choice I’m calling you from Dallas headed for L A              I wish I had more time to talk there’s so much to say                     [Chorus] No I ain’t forgot how I was raised But I’m livin’ way too fast It’s a roller coaster ride up and down                  My new job is going great I’m headed for the top                 I should be happy but somehow I’m not                          Sometimes I think the devil has got me by the sleeve                   Oh Mama don’t forget to pray for me              [Verse] Tell me how is the weather?     Have you put the garden out? Are the dogwoods bloomin’ out behind the house? No I’m not sick there’s nothin’ wrong don’t wake up Dad                   I just thought of you and home and got a little sad                 [Chorus] No I ain’t forgot how I was raised But I’m livin’ way too fast H                                    A                  D It’s a roller coaster ride up and down My new job is going great I’m headed for the top                 I should be happy but somehow I’m not                          Sometimes I think the devil has got me by the sleeve                   Oh Mama don’t forget to pray for me              Oh Mama don’t forget to pray for me
