Текст песни
Lord knows I've tried to paint that town every shade of red
There's a lotta whiskey bottles and skeletons
I broke more hearts than the strings on my guitars
But one was gold and damn sure wouldn't bend
She saw her baby in the crazy
Her child in the wild
She brought me in this world and kept me here
Five foot five
Full of grace, full of pride
She saw me coming a mile away
So far from Heaven
No chance I would get in
She didn't see me that way
Oh, the devil only knows
The sinner I would be
But mama raised the hell outta me
Yeah, mama raised the hell right outta me
Curly phone cable, leaving tears on the table
Saying, "What did my boy do this time?"
Yeah, she could have hung up or gave up
Said she was fed up
But she looked up and prayed to Jesus the whole drive
Yeah, that devil downstairs sure tried hard to get me there
But he didn't stand a chance against
Five foot five
Full of grace, full of pride
She saw me coming a mile away
So far from Heaven
No chance I would get in
She didn't see me that way
Oh, the devil only knows
The sinner I would be
But mama raised the hell outta me
Yeah, mama raised the hell right outta me
She saw her baby in the crazy
Her child in the wild
She brought me in this world and kept me here
Five foot five
Full of grace, full of pride
She saw me coming a mile away
So far from Heaven
No chance I would get in
She didn't see me that way
Oh, the devil only knows
The sinner I would be
But mama raised the hell outta me
Yeah, mama raised the hell right outta me
Ooh, right outta me
