Momma's Not To Blame

MOMMA'S NOT TO BLAME - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Momma's not to blame for my foolish behavior

Momma's not to blame for me being this way 

Momma's not to blame for me never not caring 

I'm the only one you can blame 

I'm the only one that you can blame 

I was born and raised in a gospel christian home 

Momma always taught me right from wrong 

My own decisions she'd let me make at my own will

I remember lectures on that topic still 

But I drifted to the wrong crowd and started making a lot of noise

Momma always said that boys will be boys

Then one night I got busted and they threw my ass in jail 

And to everybody I would tell 

I'd tell them 

Momma's not to blame for my foolish behavior

Momma's not to blame for me being this way 

Momma's not to blame for me never not caring 

I'm the only one you can blame 

I'm the only one that you can blame 

Well, I kept up with my crazy like I've always done before 

I got used to hearing the slamming of a cell door

Then a question was asked to me and by no surprise 

And this is what I told the warden as I looked into his eyes 

I told him

Momma's not to blame for my foolish behavior

Momma's not to blame for me being this way 

Momma's not to blame for me never not caring 

I'm the only one you can blame 

I'm the only one that you can blame
