Reba Mcentire - Mama Tried Lyrics

Align:

(merle haggard)

First thing I remember knowin

Was a lonesome whistle blowin

And a young ones dream of growin up to ride

On a freight train leavin town

Not knowin where Im 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

In spite of all my sunday learnin

Toward the bad I kept on turnin

Till mama couldnt 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 pleading I denied

And that leaves only me to blame

cause mama tried

And then there was another man from texas.

My mama and daddy used to drive for

Miles and miles just to listen to him sing.

I remember mama used to tell me.

Shed say reba hes got the best voice Ive ever heard

And then later on when I got to go and listen to him sing,

Id sit there all night long and wait for

Ray price to sing the blues.
