mama tried

The first thing
我只記得
I remember knowing was a lonesome whistle blowing
孤單的口哨
And a young guns dream of growing up to ride
一個小子，急著長大
On a freight train leaving town, not knowing where
爬上貨車，離了城
Im boundNo one could change my mind but
九牛不回，不知自己是誰
Mama tried
媽媽沒辦法了
One and only rebel child from the family, meek and mild
家裡那個叛逆少年，曾那麼溫和
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
媽媽好像知道我的未來
Despite all my
不顧一切
Sunday learning towards the bad,
週末去學壞
I kept on turning
各種作死
Til mama couldnt hold me anymore
直到媽媽管不了
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
21歲判無期，不許假釋
No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried
沒人能管我，媽媽努力過了
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading,
媽媽想讓我學好，可我不聽
I deniedThat leaves only me to blame cause mama tried
我只把那當成責備，媽媽努力過了
Dear old daddy, rest his soul, left my
親愛的老爹，願他安息
Mom a heavy load
媽媽背上沉重的負擔
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
又當爹又當媽，太難
Working hours without rest, wanted me to have the best
幹活不眠不休，讓我過上好日子
She tried to raise me right but
她要我學好
I refusedAnd
我不干
I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
21歲判無期，不許假釋
No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried
沒人能管我，媽媽努力過了
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading,
媽媽想讓我學好，可我不聽
I deniedThat leaves only me to blame cause mama tried
我只把那當成責備，媽媽努力過了
