Baby you got me so confused I don’t know what to do
I ain’t heard from you about sixteen days, postman got no news
The nights go by like cigarettes just lying there burning slow and long
Ah baby ain’t that strong
Well I sent letters home to mama, but you know
Mama never sent them back
Well I get up in the morning and I ball that jack and I’m out for one or two
The more I drink, the more I think, the more I’m born to lose
Yeah you rattled my snake and shook my hide, moved my train, moved it on down
the line
On down the line
Well I sent letters home to mama but you know
Mama never sent them back
Yo I sent letters home to mama but you know
Mama never sent them back
Alright
Mama used to soothe my aching head mama used to do my clothes
Mama used to tuck me in my bed, mama used to blow my nose
Round and around and around we go, where we stop, nobody knows for sure
Baby, that’s for sure
Well I sent letters home to mama, but you know
Mama never sent them back
Look I sent letters home to mama, but you know
Mama never sent them back
Look I sent letters home to mama, but you know
Mama never sent 'em back
