Johnny Cash - Mama, You’ve Been on My Mind lyrics

[Johnny Cash - Mama, You’ve Been on My Mind lyrics]

When you wake up in the morning
Baby look inside your mirror
I won't be next to you
You know I won't be near
I'd be curious to know if
Your reflection is as clear
As the one that I've got on my mind, mama
You been on my mind

Well perhaps it's the wind and the
Dark dark night that's covering
The crossroads that I'm at
And maybe it's the weather
Or something like that
But mama, you been on my mind, mama
You been on my mind

Well I don't need trouble
Please don't put me down
Don't get upset, I am not pleading
I won't say I'll forget
And I won't pace a floor bowed
Down and bent but yet
Mama, you been on my mind, mama
You been on my mind

Even though my mind is hazy and
My thoughts are kinda narrow
Where you been don't bother me or
Bring me down with sorrow
It don't matter to me where
You'll be waking up tomorrow
But mama you been on my mind
Mama you been on my mind
