[Verse 1]
I know I havenât been around in a bit,
But Mama, donât think that I could ever forget,
You probably been wondering as to where that Iâve been,
Got picked up last week, and Iâm stuck in the pin,
And I know that I havenât been the best son,
You canât forgive for all the things that I done,
But my attorney tells me that I got a good case,
So write me a letter, Ma, send me your grace,
[Chorus]
Write me a letter, give me a call,
Cause Iâve been inside for way too long,
With all of my sorrows and all my regrets,
Write me a letter and help me forget,
[Verse 2]
Well hey there John, Man itâs been a long time,
And I hope that you and boys are doing just fine,
You probably been wondering why I donât hang around,
Iâve been stuck in county since that shit when down,
And it might be a lot to inquire about,
That you and the boys could pull some dough and help me get out,
Cause us and the gang, man, ainât we been through it all?
Just let me know, buddy, just give me a call,
[Chorus]
Write me a letter, give me a call,
Cause Iâve been inside for way too long,
With all of my sorrows and all my regrets,
Write me a letter and help me forget,
[Bridge]
Knowing youâre with me, it keeps me holding on,
Knowing you miss me whenever Iâm gone,
With you all in my heart, is my only escape,
And oh, how I wish for a loving embrace,
[Verse 3]
Well Mama, I havenât heard from you in a while,
Itâs been about a year but Iâm still trying to smile,
I couldnât pull bail and I lost in the case,
And ainât no one willing to help out in this place,
I hope you get this, I hope you respond,
Cause I ainât talked to no one ever since Iâve been gone,
And I donât know if Iâll ever see you all again,
I just want a family, I just want a friend,
[Chorus]
Write me a letter, give me a call,
Cause Iâve been inside for way too long,
With all of my sorrows and all my regrets,
Write me a letter and help me forget.
