I'm The Only Hell My Mama Ever Ra
Well, I can't tell my mama's short on lovin' me
I 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
Well, I rolled into Atlanta
Stolen tags and almost out of gas
I had to get some money
Lately, I'd learned how to get it fast
Those neon light is calling me
And somehow I just had to get downtown
So I reached into the glovebox
Another liquor store went down
And as a precious memory
Take me back to the good ol' days
Let me hear my mama singin'
"Rock of Ages Died 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
They put those handcuffs on me
Lord, how I fought to resist
But the agents clamped 'em tighter
Until the metal bit into my wrist
They took my boots and my billfold
My fingerprints, and the profile of my face
And then they locked away
The only hell my mama ever raised
And as a precious memory
Take me back to the good ol' days
Let me hear my mama singin'
"Rock of Ages Died 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
And I turned out
To be the only hell my mama ever raised
I 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
Well, I rolled into Atlanta
Stolen tags and almost out of gas
I had to get some money
Lately, I'd learned how to get it fast
Those neon light is calling me
And somehow I just had to get downtown
So I reached into the glovebox
Another liquor store went down
And as a precious memory
Take me back to the good ol' days
Let me hear my mama singin'
"Rock of Ages Died 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
They put those handcuffs on me
Lord, how I fought to resist
But the agents clamped 'em tighter
Until the metal bit into my wrist
They took my boots and my billfold
My fingerprints, and the profile of my face
And then they locked away
The only hell my mama ever raised
And as a precious memory
Take me back to the good ol' days
Let me hear my mama singin'
"Rock of Ages Died 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
And I turned out
To be the only hell my mama ever raised
