I’ve been meaning to call you But I’ve been busy, it’s been crazy Between work and classes, I barely have time to sleep I meant to tell you thanks for the fifty That you mailed me for my birthday It’ll come in handy in Panama City next week
Yeah, well, have a good time and be careful Don’t worry about me
Well, I know I don’t call you near enough It’s alright, don’t be tearin’ up Just know I’m out here doin’ fine And you’re always on my mind
I’ve been meaning to call you You won’t believe me, I finally found her I bet you started wonderin’ if I’d end up alone You’re gonna love her, she’s the daughter Of a preacher, a third grade teacher She’s the closest thing to perfect I swear I’ve ever known
Are you free on Friday? I’d love to bring her back home
Well, I know I don’t call you near enough It’s alright, don’t be tearin’ up Just know I’m out here doin’ fine And you’re always on my mind
I’ve been meaning to call you She lost her first tooth, she said to tell you That the tooth fairy left a whole dollar right by her bed Lastly, she drew a picture of Grandpa fishin’ in Heaven No, I still don’t think she understands
Can’t imagine how quiet that house is with him gone But Mama, I promise I’ll call more often from now on
I’ve been meaning to call you I’ve been meaning to call you Oh, I’ve been meaning to call you, yeah
