[Verse]
      D/F#        Dmaj7          
Got a call from a friend about a 
G      D/F#
friend
          G           
With some news no one ever 
D/F#          Em7  A
wants to hear
   D/F#          Dmaj7        
It hit me like a punch, it took 
     G       D
my breath
       G            D/F#     Em7 
He was just gettin' into his best
      A
 years
      Bm             A            
Yeah, somethin' like that'll shake
     G   D/F#
 you up
         Em7  A
Wake you up


[Chorus]
     D/F#             A           
So I stopped off at a Texaco, 
     Bm7            A
bought a Slim Jim and a coke
G                 D/F#          
Parked out by the water just to 
Em7              A
watch that river flow
           D/F#            A  
Grabbed my guitar from the back 
                Bm7           A
seat, wrote a song just for me
      G               D/F#        
And I sung it for the blue sky and
    Em7             A
 a couple live oak trees
             Bm               A   
I thought of home, grabbed my 
           G      A
phone from my pocket
             D/F#  Dmaj7 D/F# Dmaj7
And I called mama

[Verse 2]
   D/F#          Dmaj7        
It rang a couple times, and she 
         G   D/F#
picked up
      G               D/F#        
I can always hear her smile when I
  Em7  A
 call
       D/F#      Dmaj7         
I just called to tell you that I 
   G      D/F#
loved you
      G               D/F#        
I was missing you and dad and 
          Em7  A
home, that's all
  Bm            A           
I got to really thinking this 
  G       D/F#
morning
               Em7      A
About what's important


[Chorus]
     D/F#             A           
So I stopped off at a Texaco, 
     Bm7            A
bought a Slim Jim and a coke
G                 D/F#       
Parked out by the water just to 
    Em7              A
watch that river flow
           D/F#            A  
Grabbed my guitar from the back 
                Bm7           A
seat, wrote a song just for me
      G               D/F#        
And I sung it for the blue sky and
   Em7             A

             Bm               A   
I thought of home, grabbed my 
           G      A
phone from my pocket
             D/F#
And I called mama

Em A


[Bridge]
    Em          Em
And from now on
              A            A
I ain't gonna wait so long


[Chorus]
     D/F#        A           Bm7 
To stop off at a Texaco, buy Slim
           A
 Jim and a coke
G               D/F#          
Park out by the water just to 
Em7              A

        D/F#             A        
Grab my guitar from the back seat,

 write a song just for me
      G               D/F#        
And I sing it for the blue sky and
   Em7             A
 a couple live oak trees
           Bm            A        
I think of home, grab my phone 
      G      A
from my pocket
           Bm       A         
Instead of sayin' tomorrow, I'm 
  G        A
gonna
           D/F#  Dmaj7 D/F# Dmaj7
And I call mama
           D/F# Dmaj7 D/F# Dmaj7 
And I call mama
