Mama Tried
The first thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin' and a youngin's dream of growin' up to ride
On a freight train leavin' town not knowin' where I'm bound and no one could change my mind, but Mama tried
One and only rebel child from a family meek and mild My Mama seemed to know what lay in store
Despite all my Sunday learnin' towards the bad I kept on turnin' 'til Mama couldn't hold me anymore
And I turned twenty-one in Prison doing life without parole No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied And that leaves only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried
Dear ol' Daddy rest his soul left my mom a heavy load she tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Working hours without rest wanted me to have the best she tried to raise me right, but I refused
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied And that leaves only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried
