Oh, I hope that you, somebody Someone I could count To pull me to my feet again When I was in doubt Oh now Mama, do you hear me? I'm calling out your name Oh now Mama, do you hear me? I'm calling out your name I'm calling out your name I'm the last cowboy in this town Empty veins and my plastic broken crown They said I swam the sea that ran around They said I once was lost but now I'm truly found And I know the place another way I feel, I feel no shame Oh now Mama, do you hear my fear? It's coming after me I'm calling out your name I'm calling out your name Stay with me Stay with me Did you throw your heart away? Oh I know just what I say Did your phone cut in the way? Being still downtown I say And I know you ran away Oh I know but I'm feeling okay And I found love and fear wont go And I found love and feeling wont go See you walk away Feeling okay now Happy now? Stay with me Stay with me Stay with me Stay with me
