Jesus and Mama (Remastered Album Version) - Confederate Railroad

Jesus and Mama (Remastered Album Version) Lyrics

I made a wish upon a star
I could have a brand new car
Got tired of wishing
So I stole oneSeventeen and knew it all
My dreams were big but my thoughts were small
So many roads somehow I chose
The wrong oneBut Jesus and Mama always loved me
Even when the Devil took control
Jesus and Mama always loved me
This I knowI felt trapped 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 meHeadstrong, stubborn, couldn't be told
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 knowI wish Mom could see me now
And how I've turned it all around
Lately I've been going down
The right roadLife's a picture that you paint
With blues and grays and can and can'ts
Heaven knows I'm not a saint
But I knowJesus and Mama always loved me
Even when the Devil took control
Jesus and Mama always loved me
This I know
