Merle Haggard - Mama Tried

This is the kind of thing I aspire to. To be able to say, “What I did was nobody’s fault but my own.” When it’s true, of course. Not when it’s not true, not when some asshole is trying to push me into admitting something I didn’t do in the first place. But when I’ve truly done something wrong, no matter how big it is, I want to be able to admit it’s wrong and that it’s my fault. And I really look up to people who’ve done really bad things, like crime, and are able to look themselves in the mirror, see themselves accurately, and go on with their day. I want to be like that.
