Mama You've Been On My Mind / A Fraction Of Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie Lyrics - Jack Johnson

Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat 

An' cov'rin' the crossroads I'm standing at 

Or maybe it's the weather or something 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" 

I do not walk the floor bowed down an' bent, but yet 

Mama, you been on my mind 

Even though my mind is hazy 

An' my thoughts they might be narrow 

Where you been don't bother me 

Nor bring me down in sorrow 

It don't even matter to me 

Where you're wakin' up tomorrow 

But mama, you're just on my mind 

I am not askin' you to say words 

Like 'Yes' or 'No' 

Please understand me 

I got no place for you t' go 

I'm just breathin' to myself 

Pretendin' not that I don't know 

Mama, you been 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
