歌词
The first thing I remember
Knowin was a
Lonesome whistle blowin
And a younguns dream
Of growin up to ride
On a freight train leavin town
Not knowin where Im bound
No one could change
My mind but mama tried
One and only rebel child
From a family meek and mild
My mama seemed to to
Know what lay in store
Spite all my Sunday learnin
Towards the bad
I kept on turnin
Til 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
Dear ole daddy rest his
Soul left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard
To feel 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
And that leaves only me to blame
'Cause mama tried
And that leaves only me to blame
'Cause mama tried
