Lyrics Mama Raised the Hell Out of Me - Mitchell Tenpenny

Lord knows, I've tried to paint that town every shade of red
There's a lotta whiskey bottles and skeletons
I broke more hearts than the strings on my guitar
But one was gold and damn sure wouldn't bend

She saw her baby in the crazy
Her child in the wild
She brought me in this world and kept me here

Five foot five, full of grace, full of pride
She saw me coming a mile away
So far from heaven, no chance I would get in
She didn't see me that way
Oh, the devil only knows the sinner I would be
But mama raised the hell out of me
Yeah, mama raised the hell right out of me

Curly phone cable, leaving tears on the table
Saying, "what did my boy do this time?"
Yeah, she could have hung up or gave up
Said she was fed up
But she looked up and prayed to Jesus the whole drive

Yeah, that devil downstairs
Sure tried hard to get me there
But he didn't stand a chance against

Five foot five, full of grace, full of pride
She saw me coming a mile away
So far from heaven, no chance I would get in
She didn't see me that way
Oh, the devil only knows the sinner I would be
But mama raised the hell out of me
Yeah, mama raised the hell right out of me

She saw her baby in the crazy
Her child in the wild
She brought me in this world and kept me here

Five foot five, full of grace, full of pride
She saw me coming a mile away
So far from heaven, no chance I would get in
She didn't see me that way
Oh, the devil only knows the sinner I would be
But mama raised the hell out of me
Yeah, mama raised the hell right out of me
Ooh, right out of me
