Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Made a wish upon a star
I could have a brand new car
Got tired of wishin' 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
[Verse 2]
But Jesus and mama always loved me
Even when the devil took control
Jesus and mama always loved me
This I know
[Verse 3]
I felt trapped most all my life
Found new kinds of lows and highs
Never been a husband but I've 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'
[Verse 4]
But Jesus and mama always loved me
Even when the devil took control
Jesus and mama always loved me
This I know
[Verse 5]
I wish mom could see me now
And how I've turned it all around
Lately I've been goin' down the right road
Life's a picture that you paint
With blue and greys, cans and canvas
Heaven knows I'm not a saint but I know
[Verse 6]
Jesus and mama always loved me
Even when the devil took control
Jesus and mama always loved me
This I know
