Dear Mama

Mama prayed that I'd love Jesus
 She knew I'd need to be saved
 A hell-bent soul since I was younger
 A hell-bent soul until this day
 And Mama prayed I'd find a good man
 One to love and one to hold
 I need a man just like my Father
 But I've never been much for doing what I'm told
 I fell in love with the bright lights at only seventeen
 I was born to be a dreamer just living on a dream
 I'm sorry I'm not who you wanted me to be
 Oh but Mama I'm gonna make you proud of me
 Daddy said "I ain't puttin' up with this no more
 I prayed you'd go to college, I pray that you do more"
 But I always loved whеn you played your guitar
 Daddy I'm sorry I promise I'll make it through
 You wеre my first love
 Mama I still love Jesus and Daddy I still love you
 I fell in love with the bright lights at only seventeen
 I was born to be a dreamer just living on a dream
 I'm sorry I'm not who you wanted me to be, yeah
 I fell in love with the ramblers and I think they fell in love with me
 They ask me out tonight and they told me I could sing
 I'm gonna make you proud, proud of me
 I fell in love with the bright lights at only seventeen
 And I was born to be a dreamer just living on a dream
 I'm sorry I'm not who you wanted me to be
 Oh but Mama I'm gonna make you proud of me
 I'm gonna make you proud, proud of me
 I fell in love with the bright lights at only seventeen
