Lyrics The Only Hell Mama Ever Raised - Johnny Paycheck
I
can
tell
my
mama′s
short
on
loving
me
I
guess
that's
why
she
let
me
go
so
far
Mama
tried
to
stop
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
Well,
I
rolled
into
Atlanta,
stolen
tags
and
almost
out
of
gas
Yeah,
I
had
to
get
some
money,
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
glove
box,
another
liquor
store
went
down
And
I
said
'Precious
memories′,
take
me
back
to
the
good
ol′
days'
Let
me
hear
my
men
and
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
When
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
And
then
they
locked
away
the
only
hell
my
mama
ever
ever
raised
And
I'd
sing
'Precious
memories′,
take
me
back
to
the
good
ol′
days'
Let
me
hear
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
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
