[Verse 1]
Mama prayed that I'd love Jesus
She knew I'd need to be saved
A hell-bent soul since I was younger
A hell-bent soul until this day
[Verse 2]
And Mama prayed I'd find a good man
One to love and one to hold
I need a man just like my Father
But I've never been much for doing what I'm told
[Chorus]
I fell in love with the bright lights at only seventeen
I was born to be a dreamer just living on a dream
I'm sorry I'm not who you wanted me to be
Oh but Mama I'm gonna make you proud of me
[Verse 3]
Daddy said "I ain't puttin' up with this no more
I prayed you'd go to college, I pray that you do more"
But I always loved whеn you played your guitar
Daddy I'm sorry I promise I'll make it through
[Pre-Chorus]
You wеre my first love
Mama I still love Jesus and Daddy I still love you
[Chorus]
I fell in love with the bright lights at only seventeen
I was born to be a dreamer just living on a dream
I'm sorry I'm not who you wanted me to be, yeah
I fell in love with the ramblers and I think they fell in love with me
They ask me out tonight and they told me I could sing
I'm gonna make you proud, proud of me
[Chorus]
I fell in love with the bright lights at only seventeen
And I was born to be a dreamer just living on a dream
I'm sorry I'm not who you wanted me to be
Oh but Mama I'm gonna make you proud of me
I'm gonna make you proud, proud of me
[Outro]
I fell in love with the bright lights at only seventeen
Mama prayed that I'd love Jesus
She knew I'd need to be saved
A hell-bent soul since I was younger
A hell-bent soul until this day
[Verse 2]
And Mama prayed I'd find a good man
One to love and one to hold
I need a man just like my Father
But I've never been much for doing what I'm told
[Chorus]
I fell in love with the bright lights at only seventeen
I was born to be a dreamer just living on a dream
I'm sorry I'm not who you wanted me to be
Oh but Mama I'm gonna make you proud of me
[Verse 3]
Daddy said "I ain't puttin' up with this no more
I prayed you'd go to college, I pray that you do more"
But I always loved whеn you played your guitar
Daddy I'm sorry I promise I'll make it through
[Pre-Chorus]
You wеre my first love
Mama I still love Jesus and Daddy I still love you
[Chorus]
I fell in love with the bright lights at only seventeen
I was born to be a dreamer just living on a dream
I'm sorry I'm not who you wanted me to be, yeah
I fell in love with the ramblers and I think they fell in love with me
They ask me out tonight and they told me I could sing
I'm gonna make you proud, proud of me
[Chorus]
I fell in love with the bright lights at only seventeen
And I was born to be a dreamer just living on a dream
I'm sorry I'm not who you wanted me to be
Oh but Mama I'm gonna make you proud of me
I'm gonna make you proud, proud of me
[Outro]
I fell in love with the bright lights at only seventeen
