Good Intentions - Randy Travis/Marvin Coe D G D A
D           D7                   G               D
Mama always prayed that I'd be a better man than daddy

                 D7             A
and I determined not to let her down

D               D7                G                  D
Deserted by the man she loved and left to raise four children

                  A7            D
we were the local gossip of the town.

  D                 D7                 G               D
I promised her that I'd live right and not be like the others

                  D7               A
but I wound up in jail on Chrismas day

  D               D7              G              D
I told her I'd be home and not to worry 'bout my brothers

                   A7             D
when I got home my mom had passed away
(chorus)
    D      D7       G               D
And I hear tell the road to hell is paved with good intentions

    D7                          A
and mama my intentions were the best

D             D7     G            D
There's lotsa things in my life I just as soon not mention

D7                                      A
Looks like I've turned out like all the rest

    G         A7                D
But mama my intentions were the best

  D               D7              G             D
A little boy with big blue eyes a-beggin' to go fishing

                   D7             A
I promised him but never took the time

    D                 D7          G            D
Now they won't let me see him and I sit here a-wishing

                A7               D
Wishin' I could hold him one more time
(repeat chorus)
    G         A7                D
But mama my intentions were the best
