DevilDriver - I'm the Only Hell (Mama Ever Raised) lyrics
[DevilDriver - I'm the Only Hell Mama Ever Raised lyrics]
I can't sell my mama short on loving me
I guess that's why she let me go so far
Mama try to stopped me short of stealing
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 far away
And I turned out to be
The only hell my mama ever raised
Well, I rolled 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 just had to get downtown
So I reached into the glove box
Another liquor store went down
And I sing 'Precious memories'
Take me back to the good ol' days
Let me hear mama singing
'Rock of ages' cleft for me
She tried to turn me on to Jesus
But I turned on to the devil's ways
And I turned out to be the
Only hell my mama ever raised
When they put them handcuffs on me
Lord how I fought to resist
But agent clamped 'em tighter
'til that metal bit into my wrist
They took my belt and
My billfold, my fingerprints
And the profile of my face
Then they locked away the only hell
My mama ever ever raised
And I sing 'Precious memories'
Take me back to the good ol' days
Let me hear mama singing
'Rock of ages' cleft for me
She tried to turn me on to Jesus
But I turned on to the devil's ways
And I turned out to be the
Only hell my mama ever raised
She tried to turn me on to Jesus
But I turned on to the devil's ways
And I turned out to be the
Only hell my mama ever raised
I guess that's why she let me go so far
Mama try to stopped me short of stealing
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 far away
And I turned out to be
The only hell my mama ever raised
Well, I rolled 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 just had to get downtown
So I reached into the glove box
Another liquor store went down
And I sing 'Precious memories'
Take me back to the good ol' days
Let me hear mama singing
'Rock of ages' cleft for me
She tried to turn me on to Jesus
But I turned on to the devil's ways
And I turned out to be the
Only hell my mama ever raised
When they put them handcuffs on me
Lord how I fought to resist
But agent clamped 'em tighter
'til that metal bit into my wrist
They took my belt and
My billfold, my fingerprints
And the profile of my face
Then they locked away the only hell
My mama ever ever raised
And I sing 'Precious memories'
Take me back to the good ol' days
Let me hear mama singing
'Rock of ages' cleft for me
She tried to turn me on to Jesus
But I turned on to the devil's ways
And I turned out to be the
Only hell my mama ever raised
She tried to turn me on to Jesus
But I turned on to the devil's ways
And I turned out to be the
Only hell my mama ever raised
