Papa Loved Mama
Garth Brooks
D7Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
You know it D7drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife
The E7part she couldn't handle was the being alone
I guess she Fneeded more to hold than just a E7telephone
D7Papa called mama each & every night
Just to D7ask her how she was & if us kids were alright
ME7ama would wait for that call to come in
But when dadFdy'd hang up she was E7gone again D7
chorus.... #1 A7
Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
PaD7pa was a good'n but the jealous kind
PaD7pa loved mama, mama loved men
MAmama's in the graveyard pE7apa's in the D7pen
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.....

Mama's in the graveyard papa's in the pen
