Mama Tried (妈妈的努力) - The Astronauts[00:00:00]
First thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin'[00:00:11]
And a young'uns dream of growin' up to ride[00:00:16]
On a freight train leavin' town not knowin' where I'm bound[00:00:21]
And no one could change my mind but Mama tried[00:00:26]
One and only rebel child from a family meek and mild[00:00:30]
My Mama seemed to know what lay in store[00:00:35]
Spite of all my Sunday learnin' the bad I kept on turnin'[00:00:40]
Till Mama couldn't hold me anymore[00:00:45]
And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole[00:00:49]
No one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried[00:00:54]
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied[00:00:58]
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried[00:01:03]
Dear old Daddy rest his soul left my Mama a heavy load[00:01:39]
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes[00:01:44]
Workin' hours without rest wanted me to have the best[00:01:48]
She tried to raise me right but I refused[00:01:53]
And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole[00:01:58]
No one could steer me right but Mama tried Mama tried[00:02:03]
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied[00:02:07]
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried[00:02:12]
