we will wake when kitty licks
and in the morn, work takes her to maine
dressed and out the door by six
tomorrow is the first time liz can´t board my plane

like mama said, dontcha let it go to your head
when ya know your book is read
i´m so proud to know you
anna will take me to the port
as liz drives up i-95
me and my darlin´ keep love alive
even on texas time

like mama said, dontcha let it go to your head
when your town is painted red
i´m so proud to know you
lizzy, i´ll write, i´ll sing
telegraph, telegram
telephone, tellin´ you
i´ll be home soon
