Marty Robbins - Mother Knows Best lyrics
[Marty Robbins - Mother Knows Best lyrics]
I left my home town turned a good woman down
Even laughed at my own Mother's plea
I pushed her aside
Even laughed when she cried
Now I’m here in this penitentiary
Now Mother knows best
Her love has stood the test
The records will prove it, you see
But youth's full of fire
Challenge and desire
Now I'm here in this penitentiary
I fell in you see with bad company
And I started in gamblin’ for fun
One night when the cards
Had been dealt and I'd lost
I backed up my play with a gun
Now Mother knows best
Her love has stood the test
The records will prove it, you see
I shot and I killed for a twenty dollar bill
Now I'm here in this penitentiary
Even laughed at my own Mother's plea
I pushed her aside
Even laughed when she cried
Now I’m here in this penitentiary
Now Mother knows best
Her love has stood the test
The records will prove it, you see
But youth's full of fire
Challenge and desire
Now I'm here in this penitentiary
I fell in you see with bad company
And I started in gamblin’ for fun
One night when the cards
Had been dealt and I'd lost
I backed up my play with a gun
Now Mother knows best
Her love has stood the test
The records will prove it, you see
I shot and I killed for a twenty dollar bill
Now I'm here in this penitentiary
