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
