Lyrics

Perhaps it's the color

Of the sun cut flat

And coverin'

The crossroads I'm standin' at

Or maybe it's the weather

Or somethin' like that

But mama, you been on my mind

I don't mean trouble, please

Don't put me down or get upset

I am not pleadin'

Or sayin', "I can't forget you"

I do not pace the floor

Bowed down and bent, but yet

Mama, you been on my mind

Even though my eyes are hazy

And my thoughts they might be narrow

Where you been don't bother me

Or bring me down with sorrow

I don't even mind

Who you'll be waking with tomorrow

Mama, you're just on my mind

I'm not askin' you

To say words like "yes" or "no"

Please understand me

I have no place I'm calling you to go

I'm just whisperin' to myself

So I can't pretend that I don't know

Mama, you are on my mind

When you wake up in the mornin'

Baby, look inside your mirror

You know I won't be next to you

You know I won't be near

I'd just be curious to know

If you can see yourself as clear

As someone who has had you on his mind
