I 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 But Jesus and mama always loved me Even when the devil took control Jesus and mama always loved me This I know I felt tried most all my life Found new kinds of lows and highs Never been a husband but I had a lot of wives To hold me Headstrong, stubborn, couldn't be told Like a wild horse that couldn't be rode A rainbow chaser hungry for gold And still searchin' But 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 And how I've turned it all around Lately I've been going down The right road Life's a picture that you paint With blues and grays and cans of canvas Heaven knows I'm not a saint But I know But Jesus and mama always loved me Even when the devil took control Jesus and mama always loved me This I know
