๐ Lyrics
Well, the first thing I remember knowin'
Was a lonesome whistle blowin'
And a youngin's dream of growin' up to ride
Well, on a freight train leavin' town
Not carin' where I'm bound
No one could change my mind, but Mama tried
Well, one and only rebel child
From a family meek and mild
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
In spite of all my Sunday learnin'
Toward the bad I kept on turnin'
'Til Mama, she couldn't hold me anymore
And I turned twenty-one in a prison
Doin' life without parole
No one could steer me right, but Mama tried
Mama tried
She tried to raise me better, but her pleadings I denied
I got only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried
Break it down, David
Well, dear old Daddy, rest his soul
Left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Well, workin' hours without rest
Wantin' me to have the best
She tried to raise me right, and I refused
Well, I turned twenty-one in a prison
Doin' life without parole
And no one could steer me right, but Mama tried
Mama tried
She tried to raise me better, but her pleadings I denied
I got only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried
Yeah well, I got only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried
Was a lonesome whistle blowin'
And a youngin's dream of growin' up to ride
Well, on a freight train leavin' town
Not carin' where I'm bound
No one could change my mind, but Mama tried
Well, one and only rebel child
From a family meek and mild
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
In spite of all my Sunday learnin'
Toward the bad I kept on turnin'
'Til Mama, she couldn't hold me anymore
And I turned twenty-one in a prison
Doin' life without parole
No one could steer me right, but Mama tried
Mama tried
She tried to raise me better, but her pleadings I denied
I got only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried
Break it down, David
Well, dear old Daddy, rest his soul
Left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Well, workin' hours without rest
Wantin' me to have the best
She tried to raise me right, and I refused
Well, I turned twenty-one in a prison
Doin' life without parole
And no one could steer me right, but Mama tried
Mama tried
She tried to raise me better, but her pleadings I denied
I got only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried
Yeah well, I got only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried
