'The Only Hell My Momma Ever Raised' by Johnny Paycheck - Guitar Tutorial
Song lyrics:
G Well I can’t sell my momma short on loving me I guess that's why she let me go so far C Momma always stopped me short of stealing G I guess that’s why I had to steal that car C She told me not to smoke it but I did and it took me far away D7 G And I turned out to be the only hell my momma ever raised I pulled into Atlanta stolen tags and almost out of gas C G I had to get some money and lately I'd learned how to get it fast C Those neon lights was calling me and somehow I had to get downtown D7 G I reached into the glove box another liquor store went down C And I sing Precious Memories take me back to the good old days D7 G I can hear my momma singing Rock of Ages cleft for me C She tried to turn me on to Jesus but I turned on to the devil's ways D7 G And I turned out to be the only hell my momma ever raised When they put those handcuffs on me Lord how I fought to resist C G But that agent clamped 'em tighter until that metal bit into my wrist C They took my boots and my billfold my fingerprints and the profile of my face D7 G Then they locked away the only hell my momma ever raised Repeat #3
