Lyrics:
Mother Mary pray for me I don't think I’m around
Left about a week ago with someone who was found
Pulled up to a dark red house that didn’t have a light
She said ok let’s check in for the night

Met somebody else’s wife and she asked, “How are you?”
I don’t know what goes through me but sometimes I see blue
Every time I go down there, it’s always way too hot
Every time I get too scared it’s always way too hot
(Woo)
(Yeah boy)

Didn’t your mama teach you right?
