Good Intentions - Randy Travis/Marvin Coe
C F C G
C C7 F C
Mama always prayed that I'd be a better man than daddy
C7 G
and I determined not to let her down
C C7 F C
Deserted by the man she loved and left to raise four children
G7 C
we were the local gossip of the town.
C C7 F C
I promised her that I'd live right and not be like the others
C7 G
but I wound up in jail on Chrismas day
C C7 F C
I told her I'd be home and not to worry 'bout my brothers
G7 C
when I got home my mom had passed away
(chorus)
C C7 F C
And I hear tell the road to hell is paved with good intentions
C7 G
and mama my intentions were the best
C C7 F C
There's lotsa things in my life I just as soon not mention
C7 G
Looks like I've turned out like all the rest
F G7 C
But mama my intentions were the best
C C7 F C
A little boy with big blue eyes a-beggin' to go fishing
C7 G
I promised him but never took the time
C C7 F C
Now they won't let me see him and I sit here a-wishing
G7 C
Wishin' I could hold him one more time
(repeat chorus)
F G7 C
But mama my intentions were the best
