Verse 1
A
Mama said that thirteen
D
A
was too young to think my lips
And too young to run with
E
me and twice my years
A
But when you're young and yearn to be
D
A
a woman what does your mother know
D
I couldn't under stand her
A
E
A
hangups and her fears
A year went by and I got tired
D
A
of mama's foolish ad vice
E
At fourteen I was sure I knew it all
A
It wasn't like it was at home
D
A
out on the streets so long
D
A
E
A
Me I lived out side the law
D
A
Now I'm livin' in the cold grey world
E
A
hear me cryin' in the night
D
A
Missin' even mom and dad and
E
a man to hold me tight
A
I should've listened to my mama
D
A
and seen the visdom in her eyes
D
A
And the Tennessee women's prison
E
wouldn't be my mama to night
A
