[B]
I can't sell my mama 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 [B] told me not to smoke it, but I did And it took me [E] far away
[F#] And I turned out to be the only hell my mama [B] ever raised
Well, I rolled into Atlanta, stolen taxin' almost out of gas
Had [E] to get some money, lately I learned how to get it faxed
[B] Dark neon lights was callin' me, and somehow I just had to [E] get downtown
So [F#] I reached into the glove box, another liquor [B] store went down
And I said, precious memories, take me back to the [E] good old days
[F#] Left to 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 [F#] ever [B] raised
[C]
Well, they put them handcuffs on me, Lord, how I fought to resist
But [F] they just clapped and tapped till that metal bit into my wrists
They [C] took my belt and my billboard, my fingerprints and the profile [F] of my face
[G] And left me 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] Left to 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 raised
[C#] She tried to turn me on to Jesus, but I turned on to the [F#] devil's ways
