Mama Tried

	作词 : Haggard
	The first thing
	I remember knowing was a lonesome whistle blowing
	And a young gun's dream of growing up to ride
	On a freight train leaving town, not knowing where
	I'm boundNo one could change my mind but
	Mama tried
	One and only rebel child from the family, meek and mild
	My mama seemed to know what lay in store
	Despite all my
	Sunday learning towards the bad,
	I kept on turning'
	Til mama couldn't hold me anymore
	And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
	No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried
	Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading,
	I deniedThat leaves only 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
	Working hours without rest, wanted me to have the best
	She tried to raise me right but
	I refusedAnd
	I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
	No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried
	Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading,
	I deniedThat leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
