Lyrics

I COULD HAVE GONE RIGHT (Mel Tillis) Oh I was born a good boy my mama loved me so 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...
