Story Behind The Song
Sami Jo penned "I'm Tired of Calling My Mom" after one too many phone calls complaining about the same guy. It is not hard to imagine - we've all been there to some extent. This folksy, Americana song begs to be chanted by a crowd of Sami Jo fans who've had their heart broken and need a dose of therapeutic revenge. Noah Kahan and Zach Bryan would be fair comparisons to this song's honest, punchy style and poetic flare.

Lyrics
I'm tired of calling my mom, she keeps on asking what's wrong
I keep explaining myself, she's tired of hearing these songs
Thinks they're about you
Wish it weren't true
I'm tired of checking my phone, I'd like to throw it away
I said goodbye in the car, you couldn't ask me to stay
I don't mind if I'm alone
But not with my phone
My mom hates you, for what you put me through
I don't blame her, you never should've made the news, like you do
I would love to take your side but now I'm older, I think she was right all along
I'm tired of calling my mom
Talked to my dad about you, I made him uncomfortable
My brother hates everyone but he likes you least of them all
Don't wanna hear it
So I don't pick up
I don't go out anymore, my best friend's sick of your name
Now on this side of the world, weatherman says it will rain
I bet it's colder
Where you are
My mom hates you, for what you put me through
I don't blame her, you never should've made the news, like you do
I would love to take your side but now I'm older, I think she was right all along
I'm tired of calling my mom
She's tired of hearing this song
I lied and said nothing is wrong
My mom hates you, for what you put me through
I don't blame her, you never should've made the news, like you do
I would love to take your side but now I'm older, I think she was right all along
Could've been you that I called, but it's not
I'm tired of calling my mom
