Jesus And Mama

I made a wish upon a star

I could have a brand new car

Got tired of wishing

So I stole one



Seventeen and knew it all

My dreams were big but my thoughts were small

So many roads somehow I chose

The wrong one



CHORUS

But Jesus and mama always loved me

Even when the devil took control

Jesus and mama always loved me

This I know



I felt tried most all my life

Found new kinds of lows and highs

Never been a husband but I had a lot of wives

To hold me



Headstrong, stubborn, couldn't be told

Like a wild horse that couldn't be rode

A rainbow chaser hungry for gold

And still searchin'



REPEAT CHORUS



I wish mom could see me now

And how I've turned it all around

Lately I've been going down

The right road



Life's a picture that you paint

With blues and grays and cans of canvas

Heaven knows I'm not a saint

But I know



REPEAT CHORUS
