Singer/Band:
Garth Brooks
Verse 1
E7Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
You know it A7drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife
The B7part she couldn't handle was the being alone
I guess she Cneeded more to hold than just a B7telephone
E7Papa called mama each & every night
Just to A7ask her how she was & if us kids were alright
B7Mama would wait for that call to come in
But when Cdaddy'd hang up she was B7gone again E7
Chorus 1
A7Mama was a looker, Lord how she shined
E7Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
A7Papa loved mama, mama loved men
EmMama's in the graveyard, B7papa's in the E7pen
Verse 2
E7Well, it was bound to happen & one night it did
Papa came A7home & it was just us kids
B7He had a dozen roses & a bottle of wine
If he was Clooking to surprise us he was B7doing fine
I E7heard him cry for mama up & down the hall
Then I A7heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall
B7That old diesel engine made an eerie sound
When papa Cfired it up & headed B7into E7town
Chorus 2
A7Well, the picture in the paper showed the scene real well
E7Papa's rig was buried in the local Motel
A7The desk clerk said he saw it all real clear
He never Chit the brakes & he B7was shifting E7gears
Chorus 1
A7Mama was a looker, Lord how she shined
E7Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
A7Papa loved mama, mama loved men
EmMama's in the graveyard, B7papa's in the E7pen
Outro
EmMama's in the graveyard, B7papa's in the E7pen
Mama's in the graveyard, papa's in the pen
