Randy Travis lyrics - Good Intentions    Mama 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  We were the local gossip of the town    I promised her that I'd live right   And not be like the others  But I wound up in jail on Christmas Day  I told her I'd be home and not to worry 'bout my brothers  When I got home my Mom had passed away    Chorus:  And I hear tell the road to hell  Is paved with good intentions  But Mam my intentions were the best  There's lots of things in my life   I'd just as soon not to mention  Looks like I turned out like all the rest  But Mama my intentions were the best    A little boy with big blue eyes   A-beggin' to go fishin'  I promised him but never took the time  Now they won't let me see him  And I sit here a-wishin'  Wishin' I could hold him one more time    Chorus:  And I hear tell the road to hell  Is paved with good intentions  But Mama my intentions were the best  There's lots of things in my life   I'd just as soon not to mention  Looks like I turned out like all the rest  But Mama my intentions were the best    these lyrics are submitted by Helen Solomon
