Garth Brooks
E7 Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
A7 You know it drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife
B7 The part she couldn't handle was the being alone
C B7 I guess she needed more to hold than just a telephone E7 Papa called mama each & every night
A7 Just to ask her how she was & if us kids were alright
B7 Mama would wait for that call to come in
C B7 E7 But when daddy'd hang up she was gone again
chorus.... #1 A7
Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
E7
Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
A7
Papa loved mama, mama loved men
Em B7 E7
Mama's in the graveyard papa's in the pen
Well it was bound to happen & one night it did Papa came home & it was just us kids He had a dozen roses & a bottle of wine If he was looking to surprise us he was doing fine I heard him cry for mama up & down the hall Then I heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall That old diesel engine made an eerie sound When papa fired it up & headed into town
chorus... #2 Well the picture in teh paper showed the scene real well
Papa's rig was buried in the local Motel
The desk clerk said he saw it all real clear
He never hit the breaks & he was shifting gears
chorus... #1.....
Em B7 E7 Mama's in the graveyard papa's in the pen Mama's in the graveyard papa's in the pen
