[B] [C#m] [B]
I can't sell my mama's short on lovin' me
I guess that's why she let me go so far
[E] Mama tried to stop me short of stealin'
[B] 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 [E] away
And [F#] I turned out to be
The only hell my mama ever [B] raised
Well, I rolled into Atlanta
Stolen, tagged, and almost out of gas
[E] I had to get some money
Lately I'd learned how to get it fast
[B] Dark neon light was callin' me
And somehow I just had to get [E] downtown
So [F#] I reached into the glove box
Another liquor store [B] went down
And I said,
Precious memories
Take me back to the [E] good old days
[F#] Let me hear my mama singin'
A rock of ages [B] clipped for me
She tried to turn me on to Jesus
But I turned on to the [E] devil's ways
[F#] And I turned out to be
The only hell my mama [B] ever raised
[C]
Well, they put them handcuffs on me
Thank Lord how I fought to resist
But [F] they just clapped them tighter
Till that metal bit into my wrists
They took [C] my belt and my billboard
My fingerprints and the profile of [F] my face
[G] And then they locked away
The only hell my mama [C] ever raised
And I said, Precious memories
Take me back to the good [F] old days
[G] Let me hear my mama singin'
A rock of ages clipped [C] for me
She tried to turn me on to Jesus
But I turned on to the [F] devil's ways
[G] And I turned out to be
The only hell my mama ever [C] raised
[C#] She tried to turn me on to Jesus
But I turned on to the [F#] devil's ways
[G#] And I turned out to be
The only hell my mama ever [C#] raised
I can't sell my mama's short on lovin' me
I guess that's why she let me go so far
[E] Mama tried to stop me short of stealin'
