I’m The Only Hell Mama Ever Raised Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Hey, I can't tell my mama
short on lovin' me
Yes, that's why she let me go so far
[C]Mama tried to stop me short of stealin'
[G]Yes, that's why I had to steal that car
She told me not to smoke it but I did
And it took me far [C]away
Hey, [D]I turned out to be
the only hell my mama ever [G]raised
But I rolled into Atlanta,
drunk and almost out of gas
Hey, I [C]had to get some money,
lately I learned how to get it fast
Those [G]neon lights was callin' me
and somehow I had to get down[C]town
So I [D]reached into the glove box,
another liquor store went [G]down
And I sing precious memories,
take me back to the good old [C]days
I wanna hear [D]my mama singin' to me,
rock of ages fell for [G]me
She tried to turn me on to Jesus,
but I turned on to the devil's [C]ways
Hey, [D]I turned out to be
the only hell my mama ever [G]raised[Ab]
Well, they put them handcuffs on me,
boys, I tried to resist
Yeah, I [Db]hear they clamped them tighter
Till that metal bit into your wrist
They took my [Ab]belt and my billfold
My fingerprints and the profile of my [Db]face
And [Eb]then they locked away
The only hell your mama ever [Ab]raised
I said precious memory
Take me back to the good old [Db]days
I wanna [Eb]hear my mama singin' to me
Rock of Ages cleft [Ab]for me
Tried to turn me on to Jesus
But I turned on to the devil's [Db]ways
I [Eb]turned out to be
The only hell my mama ever [Ab]raised[A]
And I sang precious memories
Take me back to the good old [D]days
I wanna [E]hear my momma singin' to me
A rock of ages prepped [A]for me
She tried to turn me on to Jesus
But I turned on to the devil's [D]way
Hey, [E]I turned out to be
The only hell my momma ever [A]raised
Tell them, paycheck
Yeah, [E]I turned out to be
The only hell my momma ever [A]raised you
