I made a wish upon a star
I could have a brand new car
Got tired of wishing
So I stole oneSeventeen and knew it all
My dreams were big but my thoughts were small
So many roads somehow I chose
The wrong oneCHORUS
But Jesus and mama always loved me
Even when the devil took control
Jesus and mama always loved me
This I know
I felt tried most all my life
Found new kinds of lows and highs
Never been a husband but I had a lot of wives
To hold meHeadstrong, stubborn, couldn't be told
Like a wild horse that couldn't be rode
A rainbow chaser hungry for gold
And still searchin'REPEAT CHORUSI 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 you paint
With blues and grays and cans of canvas
Heaven knows I'm not a saint
But I knowREPEAT CHORUS
