david allan coe - mama tried lyrics
first thing i remember knowin’ was a lonesome whistle
blowin’
and a young’uns 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
spite of all my sunday learnin’, toward the bad i kept on
turnin’
till mama couldn’t hold me anymore
i turned twenty-one 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 pleading i denied
that leaves only me to blame ’cause mama tried
(instrumental break)
dear old daddy rest his soul left my ma a heavy load
she tried so very hard to fill his shoes
workin’ hours without rest, wanted me to have the best
she tried to raise me right but i refused
i turned twenty-one 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 pleading i denied
that leaves only me to blame ’cause mama tried
