First thing I remember knowin'[00:00:00]
Was a lonesome whistle blowin'[00:00:03]
And a young one's dream of[00:00:05]
Growing up to ride[00:00:07]
On a freight train leaving town [00:00:11]
Not knowing where I'm bound[00:00:14]
No one could steer me right[00:00:16]
But mama tried[00:00:18]
One and only rebel child [00:00:22]
Family meek and mild[00:00:24]
My mama seemed to know[00:00:27]
What lay in store[00:00:29]
Despite of all my Sunday learnin' [00:00:32]
Bad I kept on turnin'[00:00:35]
'Til mama couldn't hold me anymore[00:00:38]
I turned twenty-one in prison[00:00:43]
Doing life without parole[00:00:46]
No one could steer me right [00:00:49]
But mama tried mama tried[00:00:51]
Mama tried to raise me better [00:00:54]
But her pleading I denied[00:00:57]
That leaves only me to blame [00:00:59]
'Cause mama tried[00:01:01]
Dear old daddy rest his soul [00:01:26]
Left my mom a heavy load[00:01:28]
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes[00:01:31]
Working hours without rest [00:01:36]
Wanted me to have the best[00:01:39]
She tried to steer me right[00:01:42]
But I refused[00:01:44]
I turned twenty-one in prison[00:01:47]
Doing life without parole[00:01:50]
No one could steer me right [00:01:53]
But mama tried mama tried[00:01:55]
Mama tried to raise me better [00:01:58]
But her pleading I denied[00:02:01]
That leaves only me to blame [00:02:03]
'Cause mama tried[00:02:05]
That leaves only me to blame [00:02:08]
'Cause mama tried[00:02:11]
That leaves only me to blame [00:02:14]
'Cause mama tried[00:02:17]
