I made a wish upon a star
I 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
But 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 had a lot of wives
To hold me
Headstrong, stubborn, couldnt be told
Like a wild horse that couldnt be rode
A rainbow chaser hungry for gold
And still searchin
But 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
And how Ive turned it all around
Lately Ive been going down
The right road
Lifes a picture that you paint
With blues and grays
And cans and cants
Heaven knows Im 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
