Maybe, it's the color of the sun cut flat And coverin' the crossroads I'm standing at Maybe it's the weather or something like that But mama, you just on my mind
I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down, don't get upset I am not pleadin' or sayin', "I can't forget you" I do not walk the floor bowed down an' bent, but yet Mama, you just on my mind
Even though my mind is hazy an' my thoughts they might be narrow Where you been don't bother me or bring me down in sorrow It don't even matter, where you're wakin' up tomorrow Mama, you just 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
Maybe, it's the color of the sun cut flat And coverin' the crossroads I'm standing at Well maybe it's the weather or something like that And mama, you just on my mind Mama, you just on my mind
