	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.
