Mama told me I'd fall from grace
I'll be face down with the dirt on my face
She would tell me I'm too good for her
I'd take the keys walking straight out the door
Daddy tells me I'll make mistakes
He'll have my back when I'm falling from grace
Tells me sober, beats me drunk
How high he climbs just how low has he sunk
And just how low has he sunk...
So tell me why, where I came from
Tell me where did I go wrong
Tell me why, where I came from
Tell me where did I go wrong
And she said
Oh that boy's gonna weigh me down
He's a wayward son in a lonely town
And he said
Oh that devils gonna weigh me down, he's a
Wayward son in a lonely town
Momma asked me what have you done
I asked for something but you've given me none
Break it down now, hold me tongue
I'll break my back just proving you wrong
I'm just proving you wrong
So tell me why, where I came from
Tell me where did I go wrong
Tell me why, where I came from
Tell me where did I go wrong
And she said
Oh that boy's gonna weigh me down
He's a wayward son in a lonely town
And he said
Oh that devils gonna weigh me down, he's a
Wayward son in a lonely town
So tell me why, where I came from
Tell me where did I go wrong
Tell me why, where I came from
Tell me where did I go wrong
So tell me why, where I came from
Tell me where did I go wrong
Tell me why, where I came from
Tell me where did I go wrong
And she said
Oh that boy's gonna weigh me down
He's a wayward son in a lonely town
And he said
Oh that devils gonna weigh me down, he's a
Wayward son in a lonely town
