When I stole that Baby Ruth
|
she made me take it back
|
when she find that Winston lighter
|
she made me smoke the pipe
|
|
Grounded me for three long weeks
|
when I cheated on that test
|
cut me off from my friend James
|
when she smelled beer on his breath
|
|
Mama raised the hell outta me
|
when the doors were open at the Baptist church
|
you could bet that's where we'd be
|
the devil never stood a chance
|
with that woman on her knees
|
'cause mama raised the hell outta me
|
|
She threw that Penthouse magazine in the trash
|
made me sleep outside the night I came home smashed
|
sold my car when she called me
|
and tamed me hard at that hotel
|
and when I punched my boss at my first job
|
she let me spend the night in jail
|
|
Mama raised the hell outta me
|
when the doors were open at the Baptist church
|
you could bet that's where we'd be
|
the devil never stood a chance
|
with that woman on her knees
|
'cause mama raised the hell outta me
|
|
I could be locked up or hooked on drugs
|
or living on the street
|
without her tough love
|
there ain't no telling where I'd be
|
|
Mama raised the hell outta me
|
when the doors were open at the Baptist church
|
my butt was in that seat
|
no that devil never stood a chance
|
with that woman on her knees
|
'cause mama raised the hell outta me
|
|
Yeah, that devil never stood a chance
|
with that woman on her knees
|
'cause mama raised the hell outta me
|
