Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mama always prayed that
I'd be a better man than daddy
And I determined not to let her down
Deserted by the man she loved
And left to raise four children
We were the local gossip of the town
[Verse 2]
I promised her that I'd live right
And not be like the others
But I wound up in jail on Christmas day
I told her I'd be home
And not to worry about my brothers
When I got home, my mom had passed away
[Verse 3]
And I hear, tell the road to hell is
Paved with good intentions
And mama, my intentions were the best
There's lots of things in my life
I'd just as soon, not mention
Looks like I've turned out like all the rest
But mama, my intentions were the best
[Verse 4]
A little boy with big blue eyes
Begging to go fishing
I promised him but never took the time
Now they won't let me see him
And I sit here wishing
Wishing I could hold him one more time
[Verse 5]
And I hear, tell the road to hell is
Paved with good intentions
But mama, my intentions were the best
There's lots of things in my life
I'd just as soon, not mention
Looks like I've turned out like all the rest
But mama, my intentions were the best
But mama, my intentions were
The best
