lirik lagu merle haggard - momma tried
the first thing i remember knowin’
was a lonesome whistle blowin’
and a youngun’s dream of growin’ up to ride
on a freight train leavin’ town, not knowin’ where i’m bound
and no one could change my mind but momma tried
one and only rebel child from a fam’ly meek and mild
my momma seemed to to know what lay in store
‘spite all my sunday learnin’ towards the bad i kept on turnin’
’til momma couldn’t hold me anymore
and i turned twenty-one in prison doin’ life without parole
no one could steer me right but momma tried, momma tried
momma tried to raise me better but her pleading i denied
and that leaves only me to blame, cause momma tried
dear ole’ 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
she tried to raise me right but i refused
and i turned twenty-one in prison doin’ life without parole
no one could steer me right but momma tried, momma tried
momma tried to raise me better but her pleading i denied
and that leaves only me to blame, cause momma tried
