Tryin' To Get There Lyrics - 2004

[ Buy Tryin' To Get There ]

Well I never knew my daddy
But everybody says my brother looks like him
And my brother he
And I doubt he
But I watch it from the cradle
Though mama tried to hide the truth from me
She did all that she was able
And Lord I guess the rest is history

CHORUS

But we all know nobody
And mama prayed I
And she tried to raise me better

Oh well I know she
But we all make mistakes and that
And I know I
I was Mama

Mama had to work the factory
She had too much pride to take a helpin
But she read the Bible
So I got no excuse for what I am
When they
I know it
While she was puttin
I was reaching in and taking dollars out

CHORUS

CHORUS

No I
But I was mama
