You're the Only Hell Your Mama Ever Raised

Well I heard mama late last night

She was talkin' to my father

Now it's time that boy was shippin' out, and I mean it

Come hell or high water

Smokes and spits and drinks and fights

And his friends all look like trouble

Oh, he sleeps all day and gone all night

Where's that boy I used to cuddle

Ten good years and then he must have gone insane

You're the only hell your mama ever raised

She tried to tell ya but you got to do things your own way

Says you're a good boy

And that you must be goin' through some phase

You're the only hell your mama ever, your mama ever raised

Susie sneaks out all the time

She says it's only fair

Now mama won't let me have no fun

Sometimes I think she's Linda Blair

Sixteen years of pristine tears then Susie changed her ways

You're the only hell your mama ever raised

She tried to tell ya but you got to do things your own way

Susie was always coy

Probably just goin' through some phase

You're the only hell your mama ever, mama ever raised

You're the only hell you're mama ever raised

She tried to tell ya but you got to do things your own way

Should know better

That you must be goin' through some phase

You're the only hell your mama ever, mama ever raised

Mama ever raised

Oh, yeah

Oh mama, little boy may be leaving today

I don't care what you say

Mama I've got to get wings and fly away
