lirik lagu grateful dead - mama tried
the first i remember knowin’
was that lonesome whistle blowin’
and a youngin’s dream
of growin’ up to ride
on a freight train leavin’ town
not knowin’ where i was bound
no one could steer me right
but mama tried
was the only rebel child
from a family meek and mild
mama seemed to know
what lay in store
in spite of all my
sunday learnin’
for the bad i kept on turnin’
and mama couldn’t hold me anymore
and i turned 21 in prison
doin’ life without parole
no one could steer me right
but mama tried, mama tried
mama tried to raise me better
but her pleadin’ i denied
that leaves no one but me to blame
’cause mama tried
dear old daddy rest his soul
left my mom a heavy load
she tried so very hard
to fill his shoes
workin’ hours without rest
wanted me to have the best
oh, she tried to raise me right
but i refused
and i turned 21 in prison
doin’ life without parole
no one could steer me right
but mama tried, mama tried
mama tried to raise me better
but her pleadin’ i denied
that leaves no one but me to blame
’cause mama tried
and i turned 21 in prison
doin’ life without parole
no one could steer me right
but mama tried, mama tried
mama tried to raise me better
but her pleadin’ i denied
that leaves no one but me to blame
’cause mama tried
that leaves no one but me to blame
’cause mama tried
