My Mama-KH/DAY THAITANIUM

The Only Hell My Mama Ever Raised � Johnny Paycheck I can't sell my mama short on loving me I guess that's why she let me go so far Mama tried to stopped me short of stealing 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. 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 just had to get downtown So I reached into the glovebox, another liquor store went down. And I sing "Precious Memories," take me back to the good all days I can hear my mama singing, "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 those handcuffs on me, and Lord how I fought to resist They just clamped them tighter, till that metal bit in to my wrist They took my belt and my billfold, my fingerprints, and the profile of my face And then they locked away the only hell my mama ever raised. And I sing "Precious Memories," take me back to the good all days I can hear my mama singing, "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... 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...
