"Hellraiser" lyrics

Mama said that she knew from the very first day
When I grew up I'd ride away
She looked in my eyes and saw an old Gypsy soul
Said she knew that I'd give my life to the road
I make a good living writing my songs
Picking this guitar and singing along
I'm 45 years old and I ain't got a home
Just a dirty old stage in some old honky-tonk

I'll never live down my rough and rowdy ways
The way that I am when I'm up on this stage
Tonight I'll be kicking the foot lights out again
Cuz I've always been and I'll always be a hellraiser

I love hanging out with all my rowdy friends
The road goes on forever and the party never ends
I got my first guitar when I turn 33
I'm still playing these bars and I'm still wearing jeans

I'll never live down my rough and rowdy ways
The way that I am when I'm up on this stage
Tonight I'll be kicking the foot lights out again
Cuz I've always been and I'll always be a hellraiser
Yeah tonight I'll be kicking the foot lights out again
Cuz I've always been and I'll always be a hellraiser

Mama said that she knew from the very first day
When I grew up I'd ride away
