I'm The Only Hell (My Momma Ever Raised)
By Johnny Paycheck
7/24/2010
Capo 2
A A7
Well, I cant sell my momma short on loving me, I guess that's why she let me go so far
D A
Momma tried to stop me short of stealing, I guess thats why I had to steal that car
A A7 D
She told me not to smoke it but I did and it took me far away
E A
And I turned out to be the only hell mama ever raised
I pulled into Atlanta, stolen tags and almost out of gas
I had to get some money, and lately I'd learned how to get it fast
Those neon lights was calling me and somehow I had to get downtown
So I reached into the glovebox, another liquor store went down
Chorus:
A D
And I sing "Precious Memories," take me back to the good ol' days
E A
Let me hear my momma singing "Rock of Ages" cleft for me
A A7 D
She tried to turn me on to Jesus, but I turned on to the devil's ways
E A
And I turned out to be the only hell my momma ever raised
Up 1/2 step
A# A#7
When they put those handcuffs on me, Lord how I fought to resist
D#
But they just clamped 'em tighter, 'til that metal bit into my wrist
A# D#
They took my belt and my billfold, my fingerprints and the profile of my face
E# A#
And then they locked away the only hell my momma ever ever raised
Chorus:
A# D#
And I sing "Precious Memories," take me back to the good ol' days
E# A#
Let me hear my momma singing, "Rock of Ages" cleft for me
A# A#
She tried to turn me on to Jesus but I turned on to the devil's ways
E# A#
And I turned out to be the only hell my momma ever raised
Up 1/2 step
B E
She tried to turn me on to Jesus but I turned on to the devil's ways
F# B
And I turned out to be the only hell my momma ever raised
