Confederate Railroad
Jesus and Mama

Capo 2; (Carter Style w/ alternative bass lines and walk-ups)

A 								 
I made a wish upon a star, 			 
D 								
I could have a brand new car
A
Got tired of wishing, 
     E
So I stole one
A
Seventeen and knew it all, 
D
My dreams were big but my thoughts were small
A
So many roads somehow I chose
    E
The wrong one

Chorus:
    A                     D
But Jesus and Mama always loved me
A                            E
Even when the devil took control
A                     D
Jesus and Mama always loved me
       A
This I know

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 we pain,
With Blues and grays, and cans of canvas
Heaven knows I’m not a saint, 
But I know (REPEAT CHORUS)
