The Only Hell Mama Raised

C Well, I cant sell my momma short on loving me, I guess that's why she let me go so far, F Momma always stopped me short of stealing, C I guess thats why I had to steal that car, F She told me not to smoke it, but I did and it took me far away, G C And I turned out to be, THE ONLY HELL MY MOMMA EVER RAISED. V2 I pulled into Atlanta stolen tags and almost out of gas, I had to get some money, and lately I'd learned how to get it fast, Those neon lights was calling me and somehow I had to get downtown, I reached into the glovebox, another liquor store went down. C F And I sing "Precious Memories," take me back to the good ol' days. G C I can hear my momma singing, "Rock of Ages" clept(?) for me, C F She tried to turn me on to Jesus, but I turned on to the devil's ways, G C And I turned out to be...THE ONLY HELL MY MOMMA EVER RAISED.
