only hell momma raised Johnny Paycheck
[C]Well, I cant sell my momma short on loving me,
I guess that's why she let me go so far,
[F]Momma always stopped me short of stealing,
I [C]guess thats why I had to steal that car,
She told me not to smoke it, but I did and it took me far a[F]way,
And I turned out to [G]be, THE ONLY HELL MY MOMMA EVER [C]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,
I reached into the glovebox, another liquor store went down.
CHORUS:
[C]And I sing "Precious Memories," take me back to the good ol' [F]days.
I can [G]hear my momma singing, "Rock of Ages" clept(?) for [C]me,
[C]She tried to turn me on to Jesus, but I turned on to the devil's [F]ways,
And I turned out to [G]be...THE ONLY HELL MY MOMMA EVER [C]RAISED.
V3
When they put those handcuffs on me,
Lord how I fought to resist,
But that agent clamped'em tighter, 'til that metal bit into my wrist,
They took my boots and my billfold,
my fingerprints, and the profile of my face,
Then they locked away, THE ONLY HELL MY MOMMA EVER RAISED.
Chorus.
[--]Matt Crider

Rock of Ages, "cleft" for me.
Cleft means split. The song Rock of Ages first lyric went:
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee.
