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
jesus and mama always loved me
even when the devil took control
jesus and mama always loved me
this i know
i 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 me
headstrong stubborn couldn't be told
like a wild horse couldn't be bold
rainbow chaser hungry for gold and still searching
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
how i've turned it all around
lately i've been going down the right road
life's a picture that we paint
losing grace cans and cans
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 love me
this i know
