Mama Tried - Ben Haggard

The first thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin'

And a young'uns 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 mama tried

One and only rebel child from a family meek and mild

My mama seemed to know what lay in store

Spite of all my sunday learnin' toward the bad I kept on turnin'

Till mama couldn't hold me anymore

I turned twentyone 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 old daddy rest his soul left my ma 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

I turned twentyone 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
