Ray LaMontagne – Hey me, Hey Mama lyrics

Mama's in the kitchen
Papa's in the field
Murder in the henhouse
Mud flung high up on the wheels
Rooster in the dooryard
Just-a leaning on the horn
Wind's sweetly drifting through the ripening corn

Hey me
Hey mama
Where you been
for so long?

Hey me
Hey mama
Where you been
for so long?

There's something outrageous
about that evening sky
It's just this side of dangerous, that look in your eyes
I always knew that you were crazy
I always knew that you could be cruel
but you know I would do just about anything in this world for you

Hey me
Hey mama
Where you been
for so long?

Hey me
Hey mama
Where you been
for so long?

Well you always seemed to hit me
Like lightning from above
Guess I just wasn't ready for
such a heavy-handed love
you left me standing in the corner
my head's a-hanging down
punch drunk, busted up and reeling like a rodeo clown

Hey me
Hey mama
Where you been
for so long?

Hey me
Hey mama
Where you been
for so long?
