Start Jamming...
[B]
I can't sell my mama short on lovin' me
[Bm] I [B] 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 [E] far away
And I turned out [F#] to be
The only hell my mama [B] ever raised
Well, [F#] [B] I rolled into Atlanta
Stolen taxin', almost out of gas
[D#] [E] I had to get some money
Lately I learned how to get it fast
[C#m] Those [B] neon lights 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
[N]
