    Verse 1
    Mama 
    said 
    that 
    thirteen 

    was 
    too 
    young 
    to 
    think 
    my 
    lips 

    And 
    too 
    young 
    to 
    run 
    with 

    me 
    and 
    twice 
    my 
    years 

    But 
    when 
    you're 
    young 
    and 
    yearn 
    to 
    be 

    woman 
    what 
    does 
    your 
    mother 
    know 

    couldn't 
    under
    stand 
    her 

    hangups and 
    her 
    fears 

    year 
    went 
    by 
    and 
    got 
    tired 

    of 
    mama's 
    foolish 
    ad
    vice 

    At 
    fourteen 
    was sure 
    knew 
    it 
    all 

    It 
    wasn't 
    like 
    it 
    was 
    at 
    home 

    out 
    on 
    the streets 
    so 
    long 

    Me 
    lived 
    out
    side 
    the 
    law 

    Now 
    I'm 
    livin' 
    in 
    the 
    cold 
    grey 
    world 

    hear 
    me 
    cryin' 
    in 
    the 
    night 

    Missin' 
    even 
    mom 
    and 
    dad 
    and 

    a man 
    to 
    hold 
    me 
    tight 

    I should've 
    listened 
    to 
    my 
    mama 

    and 
    seen 
    the 
    visdom in 
    her 
    eyes 

    And 
    the 
    Tennessee 
    women's 
    prison 

    wouldn't 
    be 
    my 
    mama 
    to
    night 

    Verse 2

    If 
    ever 
    get 
    out 
    of 
    this 
    nasty 
    cell 

    I'll 
    never 
    be 
    back 
    again 

    Cause 
    mama 
    has 
    sure 
    got 
    smarter 

    every 
    day 
    since 
    I've 
    been 
    in 

    gonna 
    follow 
    the straight 
    and 
    narrow 

    if 
    can 
    just 
    get 
    my 
    pa
    role 

    And 
    the 
    Tennessee 
    women's 

    prison 
    won't 
    own 
    my 
    soul 

    Cause 
    I'm 
    livin' 
    in 
    the 
    cold 
    grey 
    world... 

    An

    this 

    Tennessee 
    women's 
    prison 
    wouldn't 
    be 
    my 
    mama 
    to
    night

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
