neil hamburger – mama tried lyrics
[verse 1]
the first thing i remember knowing
was a lonesome whistle blowing
and a young one’s dream of growing up to ride
on a freight train leaving town
not knowing where i’m bound
no one could change my mind but mama tried
[verse 2]
one and only rebel child
from a family meek and mild
my mama seemed to know what lay in store
despite my sunday learning
towards the bad, i kept on turning
’til mama couldn’t hold me anymore
[chorus]
and i turned 21 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 plеading i denied
that leavеs only me to blame
’cause mama tried
[verse 3]
dear old daddy, rest his soul
he 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
[chorus]
and i turned 21 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
that leaves only me to blame
’cause mama tried
that leaves only me to blame
’cause mama tried
