Papa Loved Mama |
| Papa drove a truck nearly all his life |
| You know it drove mama crazy being a trucker’s wife |
| The part she couldn’t handle was the being alone |
| I guess she needed more to hold than just a telephone |
| Papa called Mama each and every night |
| Just to ask her how she was and if us kids were alright |
| Mama would wait for that call to come in When Daddy’d hang up then she was gone again |
| Mama was a looker |
| Lord, how she shined |
| Papa was a good’n |
| But the jealous kind |
| Papa loved Mama |
| Mama loved men |
| Mama’s in the graveyard |
| Papa’s in the pen |
| Well, it was bound to happen and one night it did |
| Papa came home and it was just us kids |
| He had a dozen roses and a bottle of wine |
| If he was lookin’to surprise us, he was doin’fine |
| I heard him cry for Mama up and own 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 and headed into town |
| Well, the picture in the 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 brakes and he was shifting gears |
| Mama was a looker |
| Lord, how she shined |
| Papa was a good’n |
| But the jealous kind |
| Papa loved Mama |
| Mama loved men |
| Mama’s in the graveyard |
| Papa’s in the pen |
