I got a half a six pack of Old Milwaukee
I can't do it like I did when I was a kid
This is all I'm going to need
Because I know you always worry
about me drinking my dinner
But I don't do that anymore
I got me a sweet girl at home
She's keeping food on the table
Every night she keeps me warm
So I've got me this piece of paper
And I've got my favorite pen
I know it's been a little while
And talking's not my style
So I just had to write my friend
Hey I'm doing alright mamma
late night talks with Jesus
I know it wasn't always easy
And your son will be alright
This old guitar and me are still strumming
I know you always knew I always
But I'm doing alright now mamma
I'm doing alright now mamma
I'm doing alright now mamma
You remember the time I was stuck in L.A.?
to pay the bills that I racked up
Yeah, you kept me from losing my truck
Yeah, I'm a little better off now
sure nice to see you calling me when
I'm out there on the road
Yeah, you calling to say "have a good show"
Hey I'm doing alright mamma
late night talks with Jesus
I know it wasn't always easy
And your son will be alright
This old guitar and me are still strumming
I know you always knew I always
But I'm doing alright now mamma
I'm doing alright now mamma
I'm doing alright now mamma
