[Verse 1]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
[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
[Outro]Em B7 E7
Mama's in the graveyard papa's in the pen
Mama's in the graveyard papa's in the pen
