You’re the Only Hell Your Mama Ever Raised

[Verse 1]
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, yeah
Smokes and spits and drinks and fights
And his friends all look like trouble, oh
He sleeps all day and gone all night, ooh
Where's that boy I used to cuddle?
Ten good years and then he must have gone insane"

[Chorus]
You're the only hell your mama ever raised
She tried to tell you, but you got to do things your own way (Your own way)
Says you're a good boy and that you must be going through some phase
You're the only hell your mama ever, mama ever raised

[Verse 2]
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, yeah"
Sixteen years of pristine tears, then Susie changed her ways

[Chorus]
You're the only hell your mama ever raised
She tried to tell you, but you got to do things your own way (Your own way)
Susie was always coy, probably just going through some phase
You're the only hell your mama ever, mama ever raised

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
You're the only hell your mama ever raised
She tried to tell you, but you got to do things your own way (Your own way)
Should know, know better, that you must be goin' through some phase
You're the only hell your mama ever, mama ever raised

[Post-Chorus]
Mama ever raised, ow

[Outro]
Oh, yeah
Ooh, mama, little boy may be leavin' today, yeah, ow
I don't care what you say
Mama, I've got to get wings, fly away
