The first thing I remember [G] knowing
[D] Was all too much to [G] blow
And that [D] young injury
Grew it up
[A] And I wanna break free of [G] this town
[D] I know it ain't right
[G] No one's steering [A] me right
So [D] I'm crying
I wanted only a rebel [G] child
[D]
[G] Family's my
[D] Mama's seen no ugly [A] soul
Despite [D] all my [G] Sunday journey
[D] For the bad I keep [G] on turning
[D] Till my [A] good folks need [D] me more
I turned 21, prison, [G] doing life a [D] better role
[Bm] No one's steering me right
[A] Mama's crying, Mama's crying, [D] Mama's crying
Raising me back, [G] put a plain young [D] man
In his own [A] little plane
[D] Still
[G]
[D] [Bm] [A] [D]
hoping God [G] rest his soul
[D] Left my mama [G] here to go
[D] Crying so very hard
[A] Till he could keep
[D] Working out [G] that wreck
[D] I want my knees and [G] hands bent
[D] God [A] pays me right [D] God cares
I turned 21, prison, [G] doing life a [D] better role
[Bm] Still crying, [A] Mama's crying, Mama's crying

[G] With a bleeding [D] heart
In his own little plane
Mama's crying
In his own [A] little plane [D] Mama's crying
