I Could Have Gone Right

Oh, I was born a good boy, my mama loved me so

And she gave me every chance she could to make my life a gold

But I fell in with the wrong crowd and the wrong crowd led me on

But I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong

I went to the places where sin just waits for you

And I fell in with the wrong crowd like sinners always do

Now here I sit in prison just waiting for the day

When they'll lead me through that door and burn my life away

Oh, mama please forgive me, the shame is all my own

For I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong

Oh, mama please forgive me, the shame is all my own

For I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong
