[Verse 1]
Well I saw you once
Then I blew it for the next ten thousand days
Shoulda packed away
I needed to go back and show you
I needed to go back, I know it's wrong
I'll have to get along
[Chorus]
Mama just called and said she's tucked away
Mama just called and said she's tucked away another day
Her mama just called and said she's tucked away
Her mama just called and said she's extra sad today
[Verse 2]
Well I spent the whole day yesterday on cliches about love
Makin' me remember when your pushes became shoves
I wanted to go back and show you
I needed to go back, I know it's wrong
I'll have to get along
[Chorus]
Mama just called and said she's tucked away
Mama just called and said she's tucked away another day
Her mama just called and said she's tucked away
Her mama just called and said she's extra sad today
[Bridge]
Now why'd you go and play my trust
Today's the same as yesterday
And I'm okay
I take a doctor's recommended time to get along
Since you've been gone
I'll get along oh any way at all
[Outro]
Mama just called and said she's tucked away
Mama just called and said she's tucked away another day
Her mama just called and said she's tucked away
Her mama just called said she's tucked away another day
Tucked away
Tucked away
Tucked away
Tucked away
Well I saw you once
Then I blew it for the next ten thousand days
Shoulda packed away
I needed to go back and show you
I needed to go back, I know it's wrong
I'll have to get along
[Chorus]
Mama just called and said she's tucked away
Mama just called and said she's tucked away another day
Her mama just called and said she's tucked away
Her mama just called and said she's extra sad today
[Verse 2]
Well I spent the whole day yesterday on cliches about love
Makin' me remember when your pushes became shoves
I wanted to go back and show you
I needed to go back, I know it's wrong
I'll have to get along
[Chorus]
Mama just called and said she's tucked away
Mama just called and said she's tucked away another day
Her mama just called and said she's tucked away
Her mama just called and said she's extra sad today
[Bridge]
Now why'd you go and play my trust
Today's the same as yesterday
And I'm okay
I take a doctor's recommended time to get along
Since you've been gone
I'll get along oh any way at all
[Outro]
Mama just called and said she's tucked away
Mama just called and said she's tucked away another day
Her mama just called and said she's tucked away
Her mama just called said she's tucked away another day
Tucked away
Tucked away
Tucked away
Tucked away
