Testo Mama Tried - Old 97's
Testo della canzone Mama Tried (Old 97's), tratta dall'album Hitchhike To Rhome
First thing I remember knowin'
Was a lonesome whistle blowin'
And a youngin's dream of growin' up to ride
On a freight train out of town
Not knowin' where I'm bound
No one could steer me right, but mama tried
One and only rebel child
From a family meek and mild
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
Despite all my Sunday learnin'
To the bad I kept on turnin'
'Til my mama couldn't hold me anymore
And I turned twenty-one 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 fadin' night and night
That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
Dear old daddy, rest his soul
Left 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 steer me right, but I refused
And I turned twenty-one 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 fadin' night and night
That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
