The first i remember knowin' was that lonesome whistle blowin' | |
And a youngin's dream of growin' up to ride. | |
On a freight train leavin' town, not knowin' where i was bound | |
No one could steer me right, but mama tried. | |
Was the only rebel child from a family meek and mild | |
Mama seemed to know what lay in store | |
In spite of all my sunday learnin' | |
For the bad i kept on turnin' and mama couldn't hold me anymore. | |
And i turned 21 in prison, doin' life without parole | |
No one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried | |
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleadin' i denied | |
That leaves no one but me to blame cause mama tried. | |
Dear old daddy rest his soul, left my mom a heavy load | |
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes | |
Workin' hours without rest, wanted me to have the best | |
Oh she tried to raise me right, but i refused. | |
And i turned 21 in prison, doin' life without parole | |
No one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried | |
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleadin' i denied | |
That leaves no one but me to blame cause mama tried. |
