RE SOL RE LA
RE RE7 SOL RE
Mama always prayed that I'd be a better man than daddy
RE7 LA
and I determined not to let her down
RE RE7 SOL RE
Deserted by the man she loved and left to raise four children
LA7 RE
we were the local gossip of the town.
RE RE7 SOL RE
I promised her that I'd live right and not be like the others
RE7 LA
but I wound up in jail on Chrismas day
RE RE7 SOL RE
I told her I'd be home and not to worry 'bout my brothers
LA7 RE
when I got home my mom had passed away
(chorus)
RE RE7 SOL RE
And I hear tell the road to hell is paved with good intentions
RE7 LA
and mama my intentions were the best
RE RE7 SOL RE
There's lotsa things in my life I just as soon not mention
RE7 LA
Looks like I've turned out like all the rest
SOL LA7 RE
But mama my intentions were the best
RE RE7 SOL RE
A little boy with big blue eyes a-beggin' to go fishing
RE7 LA
I promised him but never took the time
RE RE7 SOL RE
Now they won't let me see him and I sit here a-wishing
LA7 RE
Wishin' I could hold him one more time
(repeat chorus)
SOL LA7 RE
But mama my intentions were the best
