Morgan Wallen shared a brand new unreleased song called “Thought You Should Know.”
On Saturday, May 22, the singer shared a touching new song that comes in the form of a phone call to his mom, Lesli Wallen. The personal lyrics find the singer giving his mom an update on his life and all of the things he has gone through over the course of the last few years. He even shares that he’s found a girl in Jefferson City that he really likes and he admits it turns out she’s a lot like his mom.
“Wrote this song for my mom a while ago. Seemed like an appropriate time to share it,” Wallen said before playing the song.
Watch Wallen perform the new emotion-filled track below.
Read the lyrics below.
What’s going on mama?
Something’s just dawned on me
I ain’t been home in some months
Been chasing songs and women
Making some bad decisions
God knows I’m drinking too much
Yeah, I know you’ve been worrying ‘bout me
You’ve been losing sleep since ’93
I thought you should know that all those prayers you thought you wasted on me
Must’ve finally made their way on through
I thought you should know I got me a new girl down in Jefferson City and she lets me fish whenever I want to
Yeah, I’m still proud of where I came from
Still you’re only damn son
Can you believe I’m on the radio?
Just thought you should know, Thought you should know, Thought you should know
Oh by the way momma didn’t mean to ramble on ya
How’s everything back at home?
Yeah, how’s that garden coming?
Is dad still doing dumb shit?
How’d he keep you this long?
Yeah, I’m sorry to called you so late
I just miss you but anyway
I thought you should know that all those prayers you thought you wasted on me
Must’ve finally made their way on through
I thought you should know I got me a new girl down in Jefferson City and she lets me fish whenever I want to
Yeah, I’m still proud of where I came from
Still you’re only damn son
Can you believe I’m on the radio?
Just thought you should know, Thought you should know, Thought you should know
Yeah, I’m sorry to called you so late
I just miss you but anyway
I thought you should know that all those prayers you thought you wasted on me
Must’ve finally made their way on through
I thought you should know that I really like this girl down in Jefferson City and it turns out she’s a lot like you
Yeah, I’m still proud of where I came from
Still you’re only damn son
The bus is leaving so I gotta roll
Just thought you should know, Thought you should know, Thought you should know
