Intro
Verse 1
My Mama Said Keep Trying Girl, You'll Find The One For You
But I Have Given All I Got, Out Here Through And Through
That's When My Beating Heart Fell Right Outside My Chest
But I Picked It Up Just In Time Before My Last Breath
I Found A Workin Man With A Broken Heart
He Took Me By My Hand, Said He Wouldn't Go So Far
Swore That He'd Love Me, So I Gave Him All My Heart
Now I'm Tryin Not To Fall Apart
Chorus
Mama Tried, Mama Tried
I Can Say That Mama Tried, To Hide Me From The Worst Of It All
But The Thing About The Worst, It Don't Care Who It Hurts
It Just Torments Until You Turn Cold
But Mama Tried, Oh Oh Oh Mama Tried
Mama Tried Mama Tried
Verse 2
I Met The Devil Once, He's Down In Tennessee
Workin Like A Dog, Just Putting Off The Heat
To All Those Good Ol' Boys That Swore To Their Mama
They'd Buy That House And Get That Girl And Raise A Family
I Met The Devil Once He's Runnin After Me
Took Me By My Hand And He Swore That He'd Love Me
I Gave Him All My Trust And Both My Angel Wings
Just For Him To Take Back Those Things
Chorus
But Mama Tried, Mama Tried
I Can Say That Mama Tried, To Hide Me From The Worst Of It All
But The Thing About The Worst, It Don't Care Who It Hurts
It Just Torments Until You Turn Cold
But Mama Tried, Oh Oh Oh Mama Tried
Mama Tried Mama Tried
