Reba McEntire – Mama Tried Lyrics  Share

From Reba McEntire's album: Reba Live

First thing I remember knowin^,
Was a lonesome whistle blowin^,
And a young one^,s dream of growin^, up to ride
On a freight train leavin^, 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
In spite of all my Sunday learnin^,
Toward the bad I kept on turnin^,
[ Mama Tried lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/r/reba-mcentire/mamtried/ ]
Till 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 pleading I denied
And that leaves only me to blame
^,Cause Mama tried
