D 
What Junior got his
driver's license Thursday
Then he wrecked the family car
A 
on a Friday night
G 
The baby throws a tantrum
if she don't get her way
A 
D 
Nothing ever seems to turn out right
G 
I guess I'm payin' for my race
Like my momma said I'd
D 
do when I was drunk
G 
She said, gal, you pay your dues
To them, well,
A 
when you have children of your own
D 
Well, my momma was young
when her hair turned red
G 
I'm a -lookin' for mine to turn that way
A 
I won't find it amazing
G 
D 
G 
A 
D 
since I'm payin' for my race
Now my little girl thinks that
she's mistreated
When I insist that she
A 
hangs up her clothes
G 
Well I get upset and say things
that shouldn't be repeated
A 
And I'm ashamed of a lot of
D 
words my baby knows
G 
I guess I'm payin' for my raisin'
Like my mama said I'd
D 
do when I was grown
G 
She said, gal, you pay your dues
And well, when you have
A 
children of your own
D 
Well, my mama was young
when her hair turned gray
G 
And I'm a -lookin' for mine to turn that way
A 
I won't find it amazing
G 
D 
G 
since I'm payin' for my raisin'
A 
No, I won't find it amazing
G 
since I'm paying for my raisin'
D
