Confederate Railroad Jesus And Mama Lyrics

Jesus And Mama lyrics
Songwriters: Hicks, James Dean; Mayo, Danny Bear;

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've had
A lot of wives to hold me

Headstrong, stubborn, couldn't be told
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/c/confederate-railroad-lyrics/jesus-and-mama-lyrics.html]
Like a wild horse that couldn't 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 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
