1. “I’m the Only Hell (My Momma Ever Raised)” by Johnny Paycheck

“I’m The Only Hell (My Momma Ever Raised)” was released in 1977. “DISGRACELAND,” one of my favorite podcasts, did an episode on Johnny Paycheck. Similarly, the other Johnny written about on this story–Johnny Cash–has his own episode.

In this song, Johnny Paycheck talks about how he stole a car because his momma told him not to, how he stole money from a liquor store, and how he turned away Jesus just because his mom told him to believe, which I can understand. Having religion pushed on you is not fun.
