Mamma did try.
Merle was arrested for a robbery in 1957. He was sent to prison in San Quentin for 15 years where he saw Johnny Cash perform.
Although he wasn't serving "life withoutparole, Mamma tried "to steer him right.

If they come within 400 miles of me, God yes, I'll go. To hear Ray Price and Willie Nelson perform the best version of Faded Love ever, live on stage? I'd go into debt for that. Right now, my favorite song to listen to is a Ray Price tune that's not very well known - If You Ever Change Your Mind. I'd hope he'd perform that. He makes it sound effortless. And just being in the presence of Merle Haggard or any of these guys would be cool enough.

I'm sure she did, just like alot of mamas have. He messed up big time. However after repeatedly banging his head on that brick wall(figure of speech) he did a 180% turn around, wow, did he ever.

One and only rebel child, from a family meek and mild
Mama seemed to know what lay in store
In spite of all my Sunday learning towards the bad I kept on turning
Mama couldn't hold me any more
No-one could steer me right but mama tried

Yeah, Merle's family was poor and times were hard back then. I'm sure she wasn't none too thrilled when he ended up in prison either. What Merl says, is the Gospel to me!

I think all mothers try. His mother tried but could not steer him right. He paid the price behind bars'and left there a better man.
