Mama, You Been on My Mind (Live at Boston Music Hall, Boston, MA, November 21, 1975, Afternoon) Lyrics

Perhaps its the color of the sun cut flat and coverin'
The crossroads im standing at
Or maybe its the weather or something like that
But mama you been on my mind
I don't mean trouble please don't put me down or get upset
I am not pleading
Or saying i can't forget you
I do not pace the floor bowed down and bent but yet
Mama you been on my mind
Eventhough my eyes are hazy
And my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been don't bother me
Or bring me down with sorrow
I don't even mind who you'll be waking with tomorow
Mama you're just on my mind
I'm not asking you to say words like "yes" or "no"
Please understand me
I have no place i'm calling you to go
I'm just whispering to myself so i can't pretend I don't know
Mama you been on my mind
When you wake up in the morning baby look inside your mirror
You know I won't be next to you, you know i won't be near
I just be curious to know, if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind
