D D7 G D
Mama always prayed that I'd be a better man than daddy
D7 Aand I determined not to let her down
Deserted by the man she loved and left to raise four children
A7 Dwe were the local gossip of the town.
I promised her that I'd live right and not be like the others
D7 Abut I wound up in jail on Chrismas day
D D7 G DI told her I'd be home and not to worry 'bout my brothers
when I got home my mom had passed away
(chorus)
And I hear tell the road to hell is paved with good intentions
D7 Aand mama my intentions were the best
D D7 G DThere's lotsa things in my life I just as soon not mention
Looks like I've turned out like all the rest
G A7 DBut mama my intentions were the best
A little boy with big blue eyes a-beggin' to go fishing
D7 AI promised him but never took the time
D D7 G DNow they won't let me see him and I sit here a-wishing
Wishin' I could hold him one more time
(repeat chorus)
G A7 D
But mama my intentions were the best
