Good Intentions

Mama always prayed that I’d be a better man than daddy\nAnd I determined not to let her down\nDeserted by the man she loved and left to raise four children\nWe were the local gossip of the town\nI promised her that I’d live right and not be like the others\nBut I wound up in jail on Christmas day\nI told her I’d be home and not to worry 'bout my brothers\nWhen I got home my mom had passed away\nAnd I hear tell the road to Hell is paved with good intentions\nBut mama my intentions were the best\nThere’s lots of things in my life, I just as soon not mention\nLooks like I’ve turned out like all the rest\nBut mama my intentions were the best\nA little boy with big blue eyes a beggin' to go fishin'\nI promised him but never took the time\nNow, they won’t let me see him and I sit here a wishin'\nWishin' I could hold him one more time\nAnd I hear tell the road to Hell is paved with good intentions\nBut mama my intentions were the best\nThere’s lots of things in my life, I just as soon not mention\nLooks like I’ve turned out like all the rest\nBut mama my intentions were the best\nBut mama my intentions were the best
