I'm posting a correction to "Jesus and Mama". I havent seen the sheet music but I
believe it is in the key of F#. But
If you stick with the key of G this is the correct way:
FI made a wish upon a star
FI could have a brand new car
FGot tired of wishing
So I Gstole one
FSeventeen and knew it all
FMy dreams were big but my thoughts were small
FSo many roads somehow I chose
The wGrong one
FBut Jesus and mama always lFoved me
FEven when the devil took Gcontrol
FJesus and mama always lFoved me F G
This I Fknow
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'
Repeat Chorus
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 can's and cant's
Heaven knows I'm not a saint
But I know
Repeat Chorus
