Only Hell My Mama Ever 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,
She told me not to smoke it, but I 
                        F
did and it took me far away,
                    G           
And I turned out to be, THE ONLY 
                    C
HELL MY MOMMA EVER RAISED.

C
I pulled into Atlanta
stolen tags and almost out of gas,
F
I had to get some money, and lately 
I'd learned how to get it fast,
    C
Those neon lights was calling me

                         F
and somehow I had to get downtown,
                      G            
I reached into the glovebox, 
                     C
another liquor store went down.

CHORUS:
C                                 
And I sing "Precious Memories," 
                           F
take me back to the good ol' days.
      G                            
I can hear my momma singing, "Rock 
                      C
of Ages" clef for me,
C                                 
She tried to turn me on to Jesus, 
                               F
but I turned on to the devil's ways,
                    G            
And I turned out to be...THE ONLY 
                    C
HELL MY MOMMA EVER RAISED.

C
When they put those handcuffs on me,
Lord how I fought to resist,
F
But that agent clamped'em tighter, 
'til that metal bit into my wrist,
    C
They took my boots and my billfold,
my fingerprints, and the profile of 
    F
my face,
                  G                
Then they locked away, THE ONLY 
                C
HELL MY MOMMA EVER RAISED.

CHORUS:
C                                 
And I sing "Precious Memories," 
                           F
take me back to the good ol' days.
      G                            
I can hear my momma singing, "Rock
