Mama's Last Lyrics

(David Lee Murphy/Kim Tribble)

Well I never knew my daddy
But everybody says my brother looks like him
And my brother he�s in prison
And I doubt he�ll be gettin� out again
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

But we all know nobody�s perfect
And mama prayed I�d turn out differently
And she tried to raise me better
�Cause I was the baby of the family
Oh well I know she�d never say it
But we all make mistakes and that�s a fact
And I know I�m not the first but I guess
I was Mama�s last

Mama had to work the factory
She had too much pride to take a helpin� hand
But she read the Bible
So I got no excuse for what I am
When they�d pass the plate on Sunday
I know it�d break her heart if she knew now
While she was puttin� in her quarters
I was reaching in and taking dollars out

But we all know nobody�s perfect
And mama prayed I�d turn out differently
And she tried to raise me better
�Cause I was the baby of the family
Oh well I know she�d never say it
But we all make mistakes and that�s a fact
And I know I�m not the first but I guess
I was Mama�s last

But we all know nobody�s perfect
And mama prayed I�d turn out differently
And she tried to raise me better
�Cause I was the baby of the family
Oh well I know she�d never say it
But we all make mistakes and that�s a fact
And I know I�m not the first but I guess
I was Mama�s last

No I�m not the first mistake that she ever made
But I was mama�s last
