lirik lagu mama tried – old 97’s
merle haggard, bluebook music (bmi)
first thing i remember knowin’ was a lonesome whistle blowin’
and a young-on’s dream of growing up to ride
on a freight train leaving town, not knowing where i’m bound
and no one could change my mind, but mama tried
one and only rebel child, from a family meek and mild
mama seemed to know what lay in store
‘spite of all my sunday learnin’, toward the bad i kept on turnin’
’til mama couldn’t hold me anymore
chorus:
and i turned twenty-one 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
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, she wanted me to have the best
she tried to raise me right, but i refused
chorus
