Текст песни
Rest his soul left my mom a heavy load, spite all my sunday learnin towards the bad i kept on turnin Merle, not knowin where i m bound
and no one could change my mind but mama tried
cause mama tried
And no one could change my mind but mama tried, not knowin where i m bound Haggard, she tried to raise me right but i refused
Wanted me to have the best, and no one could change my mind but mama tried Merle, mama tried to raise me better
Mama tried to raise me better, and i turned twenty-one in prison doin life without parole, workin hours without rest
rest his soul left my mom a heavy load
And that leaves only me to blame, she tried to raise me right but i refused, on a freight train leavin town
No one could steer me right but mama tried, and i turned twenty-one in prison doin life without parole, my mama seemed to to know what lay in store
Cause mama tried, but her pleading i denied, and i turned twenty-one in prison doin life without parole
On a freight train leavin town, mama tried to raise me better but her pleading i denied, rest his soul left my mom a heavy load
dear ole daddy
And no one could change my mind but mama tried, cause mama tried
wanted me to have the best
Not knowin where i m bound, she tried to raise me right but i refused, mama tried to raise me better but her pleading i denied
And that leaves only me to blame, not knowin where i m bound
No one could steer me right but mama tried, dear ole daddy Tried, my mama seemed to to know what lay in store
Wanted me to have the best, rest his soul left my mom a heavy load Haggard, and i turned twenty-one in prison doin life without parole
mama tried to raise me better
She tried to raise me right but i refused, and that leaves only me to blame Mama, and a youngun s dream of growin up to ride
no one could steer me right but mama tried
Rest his soul left my mom a heavy load, til mama couldn t hold me anymore
til mama couldn t hold me anymore
and a youngun s dream of growin up to ride
And i turned twenty-one in prison doin life without parole, rest his soul left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to feel his shoes, and that leaves only me to blame, and that leaves only me to blame
And i turned twenty-one in prison doin life without parole, cause mama tried, on a freight train leavin town
She tried to raise me right but i refused, wanted me to have the best
spite all my sunday learnin towards the bad i kept on turnin
no one could steer me right but mama tried
And i turned twenty-one in prison doin life without parole, rest his soul left my mom a heavy load Tried, and a youngun s dream of growin up to ride
Spite all my sunday learnin towards the bad i kept on turnin, no one could steer me right but mama tried
No one could steer me right but mama tried, workin hours without rest
on a freight train leavin town
wanted me to have the best
spite all my sunday learnin towards the bad i kept on turnin
and that leaves only me to blame
Spite all my sunday learnin towards the bad i kept on turnin, cause mama tried
No one could steer me right but mama tried, she tried to raise me right but i refused, and no one could change my mind but mama tried
My mama seemed to to know what lay in store, she tried to raise me right but i refused
Workin hours without rest, on a freight train leavin town Mama, she tried so very hard to feel his shoes
The first thing i remember knowin was a lonesome whistle blowin, one and only rebel child from a fam ly meek and mild
And that leaves only me to blame, cause mama tried, mama tried to raise me better
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading i denied, and no one could change my mind but mama tried, cause mama tried
but her pleading i denied
