I can't sell my mama short on lovin' me I guess that's why she let me go so far
[C] Mama tried to stop me short of stealin' [G] 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 [C] far away
[D] And I turned out to be the only hell my mama [G] ever rid
Well, I rolled into Atlanta, stolen tags and almost out of gas
I [C]
had to get some money, lately I learned how to get it fast
[G] Those neon lights were callin' me and somehow I just had to get [C] downtown
[D] So I reached down to the glove box, [Am]
another [D] liquor [G] store went down
And I said, precious memories, take me back to the good [C] old days
[D] Let me hear my mama sing, a rock of ages [G] clipped for me
She tried to turn me on to Jesus, but I turned on to the [C] devil's ways
[D] And I turned out to be the only hell my mama [G] ever rid
Well, they put them handcuffs on me, Lord, how I fought to resist
Put [G] [C] the Asian clamped tighter, till that metal bit into my wrist
[C] They took [G] my belt and my billfold, my fingerprints and the profile of [C] my face
[D] And then they locked away, the only hell my mama [G] ever rid
And I said, precious memories, take me back to the [C] good old days
[D] Let me hear my mama sing, a rock of ages [G] clipped for me
She tried to turn me on to Jesus, but I turned on to the [C] devil's ways
