I had all of my things packed by early mornin'
I left that bottle I'd lost right there on the bathroom floor
I stopped at a payphone and called back home to mama
yeh she might not even talk after all I've done
the phone rang twice before I got an answer
and mama nearly dropped the phone when she heard me say
I said mama it's your son and will yall have me
she said son you know I've longed for this day
