I've Been Meaning to Call

I've been meaning to call you
 But I been busy it's been crazy
 Between work and classes I barely have time to sleep
 I meant to tell you thanks for the fifty
 That you mailed me for my birthday
 It'll come in handy in panama city next week
 Yeah well have a good time
 And be careful don't worry bout me
 Well I know I don't call you near enough
 It's alright don't be tearing up
 Just know I'm out here doing fine
 And you're always on my mind
 I've been meaning to call you
 You won't believe me
 I finally found her
 I bet you started wonderin' if I'd end up alone
 You're gonna love her
 She's the daughter of a preacher
 A third grade teacher
 She's the closest thing to perfect I swear I've ever known
 Are you free on friday I'd love to bring her back home
 Well I know I don't call you near enough
 It's alright don't be tearing up
 Just know I'm out here doing fine
 And you're always on my mind
 I been meaning to call you
 She lost the first tooth
 She said to tell you
 That the tooth fairy left a whole dollar right by her bed
 Lastly she drew a picture of grandpa fishing in heaven
 No I still don't think she understands
 I can't imagine how quiet that house is with him gone
 But momma I promise I'll call more often, from now on.
 I been meaning to call you
 I been meaning to call you
 Whoa I been meaning to call you.
