Mama, You've Been On My Mind Lyrics - Rick Nelson

Perhaps it's the colour of the sun cut fly 

Uncovering the crossroads I'm standing at 

Or maybe it's the weather or something like that 

But mama you've been on my mind. 

I don't mean no trouble, please don't put me down or get upset 

I'm not pleading insane, I can't forget 

I do not walk the floor, bow down and pampered yet 

But mama you've been on my mind. 

Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts, they might be narrow 

Where you've been don't bother me, or bring me down in sorrow 

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 the words like yes or no 

Please understand that I've got no place for you to go 

I'm just breathin' to myself pretendin' not that I don't know 

Mama you've been on my mind.
