Good Intentions - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Momma always prayed that I'd be a better man than daddy

And I determined not to let her down

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

Who were the local gossip of the town

I promised her that I'd do right and not be like the others

But I wound up in jail on Christmas Day

Told her I'd be home and not to worry 'bout my brothers

When I got home, my momma had passed away

I hear tell, the road to hell, is paved with good intentions

Momma, my intentions wеre the best

Oh, thеre's lots of things in my life I'd just assume not mention

It's like I turned out like all the rest

Momma, my intentions were the best

A little boy with big blue eyes just begging to go fishing

I promised him but I never took the time

Now they won't let me see him and I'm just sitting here alone, wishing

Wishing I could hold him one more time

I hear tell, the road to hell, is paved with good intentions

Momma, my intentions were the best

Oh, there's lots of things in my life I'd just assume not mention

It's like I turned out like all the rest

Momma, my intentions were the best

Momma, my intentions were the best
