I Could Have Gone Right Lyrics
I Could Have Gone Right - Merle Haggard
Oh I was born a good boy
My mama loved me so
And she gave me every chance
She could to make my life a gold
But I fell in with the wrong crowd
And the wrong crowd led me on
But I could have gone right
Just as easy as I went wrong
I went to the places
Where sin just waits for you
And I fell in with the wrong crowd
Like sinners always do
Now here I sit in prison
Just waiting for the day
When they'll lead me through
That door and burn my life away
Oh mama please forgive me
The shame is all my own
For I could have gone right
Just as easy as I went wrong
Oh mama please forgive me
The shame is all my own
For I could have gone right
Just as easy as I went wrong
