Artist : Johnny Paycheck
Song : The Only Hell My Momma Ever Raised
Well, I cant sell my momma short on loving
me,
I guess that's why she let me go so
far,
Momma always stopped me short of
stealing,
I guess thats 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 MOMMA 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 had to get downtown,
I reached into
the glovebox, another liquor store went
down.
CHORUS:
And I sing "Precious
Memories," take me back to the good ol'
days.
I can hear my momma singing, "Rock of
Ages" clept(?) 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 MOMMA EVER RAISED.
When they put those
handcuffs on me,
Lord how I fought to
resist,
But that agent clamped'em tighter,
'til that metal bit into my wrist,
They took
my boots and my billfold,
my fingerprints, and
the profile of my face,
Then they locked away,
THE ONLY HELL MY MOMMA EVER
RAISED.
Chorus.
