TruckStop Rodeo - Mamma's Cryin' Lyrics

He left his mama cryin' on a front porch in Texas
20 years old and green
He headed out west to be a rock n' roll hero
Guitar, a song and a dream
He landed on sunset, a block from the Whiskey
One room apartment for 3
He got tattooed and he chased all the ladies
With his long hair and his 501 jeans

When that southern boy plays with that west Texas style
And that fender guitar starts to scream
He looks up and smiles, cause he knows all the while
That He'll soon be the Rock n' Roll King

The Hollywood nights, the pills and the cold brew
He let the scene get in the way
The songs became pain, and the writings all changed
On the wall of his rock n' roll dream
One day he rose from a 3 day hell bender
With no place to call home
Dirty clothes tattered and Hollywood shattered
He lost it all, goddamn what a shame

When that southern boy played with that west Texas style
And that fender guitar would scream
The People would smile cause they knew all the while
That He'd be a Rock n' Roll king

Now the Lord dealt the hand, and god blessed the man
Not everyone likes who they see
He's lived out two lives and one ain't so nice
The second one sure set him free

When that southern boy plays with that west Texas style
And that fender guitar starts to scream
He looks up and smiles, cause he knows all the while
That he is a Rock n' Roll King

When that southern boy plays with that west Texas style
And that fender guitar starts to scream
He looks up and smiles, cause he knows all the while
That he's still the Rock n' Roll King
