Sierra Ferrell - Hey Me, Hey Mama lyrics

Papa's in the kitchen, mama's in the field
Murder in the hen house
Mud flung high upon the hill
Rooster in the dooryard just
Leaning on the horn
With the wind so sweetly drifting
Through the ripening corn

Hey me, hey mama
Where you been for so long, for so long?
Hey me, hey mama
Where you been, where you been for so long?

There's something outrageous 'bout
That evening sky
Just this side of dangerous that
Look in your eye
Knew that you were crazy
Always knew you could be cruel
Still, I would do just about anything
In the world for you

Hey me, hey mama
Where you been for so long, for so long?
Hey me, hey mama
Where you been, where you been for so long?

Left me standing in the corner
With my head hanging down
Punchdrunk, busted up, and reeling
Like a rodeo clown
You always seem to hit me
Like a lightning from above
Guess I just wasn't ready for
Such a heavy-handed love

Hey me, hey mama
Where you been
Oh now, for so long, for so long?
Hey me, hey mama
Where you been, where you been for so long?
