Made a wish upon a star

Could have a brand new car

Got tired of wishing

So I stole one

Seventeen and knew it all

My dreams were big

But my thoughts were small

So many roads somehow I chose

The wrong one

Jesus and Mama always loved me

Even when the Devil took control

Jesus and Mama always loved me

This I know

I felt tried most all my life

Found new kinds of lows and highs

Never been a husband but I've had

A lot of wives to hold me

Headstrong stubborn couldn't be told

Like a wild horse that couldn't be rode

A rainbow chaser hungry for gold

And still searchin'

Jesus and Mama always loved me

Even when the Devil took control

Jesus and Mama always loved me

This I know

I wish Mom could see me now

How I've turned it all around

Lately I've been going down

The right road

Life's a picture that you paint

With blues and grays cans of canvas

Heaven knows I'm not a saint

But I know

Jesus and Mama always loved me

Even when the Devil took control

Jesus and Mama always loved me

This I know
