I'm the Only Hell Mama Ever Raised

I can tell, my mama's short on loving me
 Guess that's why she let me go so far
 Mama try to stopped me short of stealing
 So 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 lights were calling me
 And somehow I just had to get downtown
 So I reached into the glove box
 Another liquor store went down
 And I sing, "Precious memories"
 Take me back to the good ol' days
 Let me hear my mama sing
 "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
 They put them handcuffs on me
 Lord, how I fought to resist
 But agent clamped 'em tighter
 'til that metal bit into my wrist
 They took my belt and my billfold
 My fingerprints and the profile of my face
 Then they locked away
 The only hell my mama ever ever raised (ever raised)
 And I sing, "Precious memories"
 Take me back to the good ol' days
 Let me hear my mama sing
 "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
 Ever raised
 And I turned out to be
 The only hell my mama ever raised
 Ever raised
