Mama Tried (Dance) Lyrics

I turned eighteen, and I blinked my eye

With the dreams as big as the Texas sky

Mama raised me the best she could

But sometimes I strayed from the path she stood

I ran with the crowd for a smell

Chasing thrills that I had regret

Mama warned me about the dangers ahead

But I was so young and full, I was crazy led

Mama tried to steer me right

But I wandered off into the night, into the night

I made mistakes along the way

But Mama loved me anyway, anyway

Now I am older, I've learned my lessons well

From the depths of despair I've risen and excelled

Mama's wisdom echoes in my mind

And I know for sure she was always by my side

Through the ups and downs she never lost her faith

Prayed for me through every mistake I'd made

When I was deep down she tried to pull me through

Sorry for I'd been so far away from you

Sorry for I'd been so far away from

Mama tried to steer me right

But I wandered off into the night, into the night

I made mistakes along the way

But Mama loved me anyway, anyway

Mama tried to steer me right

But I wandered off into the night, into the night

I made mistakes along the way

But Mama loved me anyway, anyway

Thanks for watching
