Burning Down the Prairie

I’ve been runnin’ too hard, workin’ too late,
Got bills in a stack and a back that aches,
Phone lights up, “You okay, son?”
I text “Yeah, I’m fine,” then the day’s gone, done.
Ain’t been home since Christmas Eve,
You still save my seat, say a prayer for me.
And I swear I hear your voice in my head sometimes,
Sayin’ “Don’t forget where you come from, boy, and call me tonight.”

Mama, I miss you, more than I’ll admit to,
Life gets loud and it’s easy to drift through.
I keep chasin’ dreams like you told me to,
But they don’t mean nothin’ if I can’t hug you.
The older I get, the more it hits true —
You only get one heart like yours to run to.
Yeah, Mama, I miss you.

You still send cards with a check inside,
Say “Don’t you dare spend it on beer this time.”
I laugh out loud, but my throat gets tight,
Thinkin’ how damn lucky I am in this life.
You were my Sunday morning, my safe place to land,
Now I’m just tryin’ to be half that kind of man.
And when I’m drivin’ down that long, lost road,
I swear I see your porch light glow.

Mama, I miss you, more than I’ll admit to,
Life gets loud and it’s easy to drift through.
I keep chasin’ dreams like you told me to,
But they don’t mean nothin’ if I can’t hug you.
The older I get, the more it hits true —
You only get one heart like yours to run to.
Yeah, Mama, I miss you.

One of these Fridays, I’m gonna make that drive,
Bring some flowers and a bottle of wine.
Sit on that porch swing talkin’ ‘bout life,
And not let a minute slip by this time.

Mama, I miss you, Lord, I still need you,
Life’s too short and time cuts see-through.
I’ll come home soon, that’s the damn truth,
‘Cause this world don’t feel right without you.
The older I get, the more it hits true —
You only get one heart like yours to run to.
Yeah, Mama, I miss you.
Yeah, Mama… I love you.
