Call Me by My Name

All this soul chasin' ain't all it's cracked up to be
I swear on my future grave it's gonna be the death of me
Sometimes I think I must have done somethin' Gawd-awful
In one of my previous lives and it keeps on comin' back to me

Hey are you there?
In the sky or wherever the Grace lives
I pray for some time
Just to breathe, to find where my place is
And please call me by my name

Well I ran to my mama when I was four yеars of age
Oh I cried in the kitchеn, Ma there's been some mistake
She looked at me and smiled like she knew somethin' I didn't
When I said I was born wrong, she said "Honey, you're just a little different."

Well I had my own two kids but I raised only one
That force that I reckon with took one to the sun
Now since I last checked in there's been a little change
My daughter said, "What do I call you, Ma?" I said "Call me by my name!"

Hey are you there?
In the sky or wherever the Grace lives
I pray for some time
Just to breathe, to find where my place is
And please, please call me by my name

Now to make things more confusing I just took on a wife
She says I'm perfect just the way I am and she sure has changed my life
But sometimes I'm still wary of how this world may change
But I guess it doesn't really matter cause she calls me by my name

Hey are you there?
In the sky or wherever the Grace lives
I pray for some time
Just to breathe, to find where my place is
And please call me by my name
Please, please, please call me by my name
