"In spite of all my sunday learnin' turned so bad I kept on turnin' till mama couldn't hold me anymore"---Mama Tried by Merle Haggard
Interestingly enough this song is pretty accurate with his real life. He did "turn 21 in prison doin' life without parole" as the chorus of that song states. Interestingly enough he was pardoned by then Governer of California Ronald Reagan.
"And lie there by the fire and watch the evenin' tire, while all my friends and my old lady sit and pass the pipe around"...From Poems, Prayers and Promises by John Denver
