Mom's Call

The phone rings and mom's on the other side She says, "Where you going this time?" You've been in and out for the longest time Please come back around Please quit the job you found We're not getting younger And your dad's a little weaker And this world is getting bleaker Mom, I know you've been worried My travels take me to unseen places Where people die and no one cares about these faces I don't wanna let you down You've been there whenever I've drowned And know I'll always be around But this work is the only thing I know Ten years of always on the go And yes I know I've lost myself from friends I've lost And I hope that it was worth the cause One more year, I promise And I'll come back home But know that I'll always be on my own Even though it hurts to be alone And yes I know, "You love me" And I'll always love you No matter where I go
