ฟังเพลงMama Tried

Mama Tried (妈妈的努力) - American Country Hits

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 bound

No 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 denied

That 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 refused

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 denied

That leaves only me to blame

'Cause mama tried
