Thought You Should Know

[Verse 1] What's goin' on, Mama? Somethin' just dawned on me I ain't been home in some months Been chasin' songs and women, makin' some bad decisions God knows I'm drinkin' too much [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, I know you've been worryin' 'bout me You've been losin' sleep since '93 [Chorus] I thought you should know, that all those prayers you thought you wasted on me Must've finally made their way on through I thought you should know, I got me a new girl down there in Jefferson City, and She lets me fish whenever I want to Yeah, I'm still proud of where I came from, still your only damn son, can you believe I'm on the radio? Just thought you should know, thought you should know, thought you should know [Verse 2] Oh, by the way, Mama, didn't mean to ramblе on ya How's everything back at home? Yеah, how's that garden comin'? Is Dad still doin' dumb shit? And how'd he keep you this long? [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, I'm sorry that I called you so late I just miss you, but anyways [Chorus] I thought you should know, that all those prayers you thought you wasted on me Must've finally made their way on through I thought you should know, I got me a new girl down there in Jefferson City, and She lets me fish whenever I want to Yeah, I'm still proud of where I came from, still your only damn son, can you believe I'm on the radio? Just thought you should know, thought you should know, thought you should know [Bridge] Yeah, I know you've been worryin' 'bout me You've been losin' sleep since '93 [Chorus] I thought you should know, that all those prayers you thought you wasted on me Must've finally made their way on through I thought you should know, that I really like this girl down in Jefferson City, and It turns out she's a lot like you Yeah, I'm still proud of where I came from, still your only damn son, the bus is leavin' so I gotta roll Just thought you should know, thought you should know, thought you should know [Outro] Thought you should know Thought you should know Thought you should know I thought you should know Thought you should know Thought you should know
