My mama always told me
                                     
Son, you d best go easy down that road"
        
And she said she was sorry
                                         
For all the times she couldn t save my soul
                                     
Shoulda listened to her words a little more
                                              
Before I packed up and I walked right out that door
    
 
Daddy always told me
                                      
Son, you d better love the best you can"
 
And "Don t look back and be sorry
                                       
These moments won t be comin   round again"
                                           
But I feel like I could conquer the whole world
                                              
When I look up and see those three little girls
                           
But I get lost, I can t find my way
                                      
All my pieces glued together for the world to see
                                 
Mistakes I ve made, consumed by some
                                                 
Till there s nothing left of me when all is said and done 
Now a preacher man once told me
                                  
Son, I m not so sure you can be saved"
        
And he said, "Life is full of choices
                                           
And He sees all the bad ones that you ve made
                                                  
And I said "Yeah, you re right, I ll probably go to Hell
                               
But goddamn all the stories I can tell
                                   
Cause I m so lost, I can t find my way
                                     
All my pieces glued together for the world to see
                               
Mistakes I ve made, consumed by some
                                                     
Till there s nothing left of me when all is said and done
So my mama always told me
                                   
 Son, you d best go easy down that road"
