I'm The Only Hell (Mama Ever Raised)

In the style of

Johnny Paycheck

Lyrics

i can't sell my
mama short
on lovin' me
guess that's why
she let me
go so far

mama tried to
stop me short
of stealin'
i guess that's why
i had to steal
that car

she told me
not to smoke it
but i did
and it took me
far away

and i
turned out to be
the only hell
my mama
ever raised

but i rolled
into atlanta
stolen tags and
almost outta gas

i had to get
some money
lately i'd learned
how to get it fast

those neon lights
was callin' me
and somehow
i just had to get
downtown

so i reached into
the glovebox
another
liquor store
went down

and i said
precious memories
take me back to
the good old days

let me hear
my mama singin'
rock of ages
cleft for me

she tried to
turn me on to jesus
but i turned on
to the devil's ways

and i
turned out to be
the only hell
my mama
ever raised

well they put them
handcuffs on me
and lord how i
fought to resist

they just clamped
'em tighter
till that metal bit
into my wrist

they took my belt
and my billfold
fingerprints
and the profile
of my face

and then they
locked away
the only hell
my mama
ever raised

and i said
precious memories
take me back to
the good old days

let me hear
my mama singin'
rock of ages
cleft for me

she tried to
turn me on to jesus
but i turned on
to the devil's ways

and i
turned out to be
the only hell
my mama
ever raised

she tried to
turn me on to jesus
but i turned on
to the devil's ways

and i
turned out to be
the only hell
my mama
ever raised
