[Verse 1]
The first thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin’
And a youngin's dream of growin' up to ride
On a freight train leavin’ town, not knowin' where I was bound
No one could change my mind, but mama tried

Was the only rebel child from a family meek and mild
Mama seemed to know what lay in store
All my Sunday learnin'
For the bad I kept on turnin' 'til mama couldn't hold me anymore

[Chorus]
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 pleadin' I denied
That leaves only me to blame ’cause mama tried

[Verse 2]
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
She tried to raise me right, but I refused

[Chorus]
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 pleadin’ I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
