Mama and Jesus

On the outskirts of a small town

Down a dirt road on a hill

In an old white frame house

At a chair she would kneel

My burdens were lifted

Every time she spoke my name

Yeah God smiled at the Devil

When my mama prayed

Yeah I know about crazy

Livin' outside the lines

Oh and I've been too far gone way too many times

It's no wonder I'm happy and feelin' brand new

Cause mama and Jesus, kept pullin' me through

You'd think that by now I'd be farther along

But trouble grows easy from the bad seeds I've sown

But I stand here forgiven and all the credit is due

To mama and Jesus for pullin' me through

Her old chair don't match nothin'

In this new house of mine

But I keep it to remind me of each tear that she's cried

Now she's gone to heaven, someday I will go too

Cause mama and Jesus kept pullin' me through

Yeah she's gone to heaven, someday I will go too

Cause mama and Jesus kept pullin' me through
