She Calls Me Raymond

by Brett Eldredge (2010)


    I work down at Ashberry Hills
    Minimum wage, but it pays the bills
    Cleaning floors and leading hymns on Sunday

    Katherine Davis, room 303
    Sweetest soul you ever could meet
    I bring her morning coffee every day

    She calls me Raymond
    She thinks I'm her son
    Tells me get washed up for supper
    Before your daddy gets home

    She goes on about the weather
    How she can't believe it's already 1943
    She calls me Raymond
    And that's all right by me

    She talks about clothes on the line in the summer air
    Christmas morning and Thanksgiving prayer
    Stories of a family that I never had
    Sometimes I find myself wishing I'd been there

    When she calls me Raymond
    She thinks I'm her son
    Tells me get washed up for supper
    Before your daddy gets home
    She goes on about the weather
    How she can't believe it's already 1943
    She calls me Raymond
    And that's all right by me

    There's a small white cross in Arlington
    Reads Raymond Davis '71
    Until she can see his face again
    I'm gonna fill in the best I can

    When she calls me Raymond
    She thinks I'm her son
    Tells me get washed up for supper
    Before your daddy gets home

    She goes on about the weather
    How she can't believe it's already 1943
    She calls me Raymond
    And that's all right by me

    She calls me Raymond
    And that's all right by me
