Mama's Last Lyrics

Well, I never knew my daddy
But everybody says my brother looks like him
And my brother, hes in prison
And I doubt hell be gettin out againBut I watch it from the cradle
Though mama tried to hide the truth from me
She did all that she was able
And Lord, I guess the rest is historyBut we all know nobodys perfect
And mama prayed Id turn out differently
And she tried to raise me better
Cause I was the baby of the familyOh well, I know shed never say it
But we all make mistakes and thats a fact
And I know Im not the first but I guess
I was Mamas lastMama had to work the factory
She had too much pride to take a helpin hand
But she read the Bible
So I got no excuse for what I amWhen theyd pass the plate on Sunday
I know itd break her heart if she knew now
While she was puttin in her quarters

I was reaching in and taking dollars outBut we all know nobodys perfect
And mama prayed Id turn out differently
And she tried to raise me better
Cause I was the baby of the familyOh well, I know shed never say it
But we all make mistakes and thats a fact
And I know Im not the first but I guess
I was Mamas lastBut we all know nobodys perfect
And mama prayed Id turn out differently
And she tried to raise me better
Cause I was the baby of the familyOh well, I know shed never say it
But we all make mistakes and thats a fact
And I know Im not the first but I guess
I was Mamas lastNo, Im not the first mistake that she ever made
But I was mamas last
