Grateful Dead - Mama Tried Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The first I remember knowin was that lonesome whistle blowin
  • And a youngins 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 couldnt 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.
