lirik lagu willie nelson friends - mama 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
no one could change my mind but mama tried
one and only rebel child from a family meek and mild
my mama seemed to to know what lay in store
’spite all my sunday learnin’ towards the bad i kept on turnin’
’til mama couldn’t hold me anymore.
i turned twenty-one 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 pleading i denied
that leaves only me to blame, ’cause mama tried
dear ole’ daddy, rest his soul left my mom a heavy load
she tried so very hard to feel his shoes
workin’ hours without rest, wanted me to have the best
she tried to raise me right but i refused
i turned twenty-one 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 pleading i denied
and that leaves only me to blame, ’cause mama tried
that leaves only me to blame, ’cause mama tried
