I made a wish upon a star 
I could have a brand new car 
Got tired of wishing 
So I stole one 
Seventeen and knew it all 
My dreams were big but my thoughts were small 
So many roads somehow 
I chose The wrong one 
CHORUS But 
Jesus and mama always loved me 
Even when the devil took control 
Jesus and mama always loved me 
This I know 
I felt tried most all my life 
Found new kinds of lows and highs 
Never been a husband but 
I had a lot of wives 
To hold me 
Headstrong, stubborn, couldn't be told 
Like a wild horse that couldn't be rode 
A rainbow chaser hungry for gold 
And still searchin' 
REPEAT CHO
RUS I wish mom could see me now 
And how I've turned it all around 
Lately I've been going down 
The right road 
Life's a picture that you paint 
With blues and grays and cans of canvas 
Heaven knows 
I'm not a saint 
But I know 
REPEAT CHO
RUS
