_ [E] I'm going to be right back. _ _ _ _
[Em] [E] Papa drove a truck nearly all his [A] life.
You know it drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife.
[B] The part she couldn't handle was being alone.
[C] I guess she needed more to hold [B] than just a [E] telephone.
Papa called mama each and every night [A] just to ask her how she was and if her kids were all [B] right.
Mama would wait for that call to come in but when daddy'd [E] hang up she was gone again.
_ _ [A] Mama was a little girl, oh now she's [E] shine.
Papa was a good'un but the jealous kind.
[A] Papa loved mama, mama loved him bad.
_ _ [E] Mama's in the graveyard, [F#] papa's in the pen.
Oh.
_ _ _ _ [Em] _
[E] Well it was bound to happen and one night it did.
[A] Papa came home and it was just [B] us kids.
He had a dozen roses and a bottle of wine.
If [C] he was looking to surprise us [B] he was doing [E] fine.
I heard him call for mama up and down the hall.
[A] Then I heard a bottle break against the bedroom [B] wall.
That old diesel engine made a nearer [C] sound.
But papa fired it [Bm] up and [E] headed into town.
_ _ [A] Well the picture in the paper showed the scene real [E] well.
Papa's rig was buried in the local [A] motel.
Desk clerk said he saw it all real clear.
He _ [B] never hit the brakes and he was shifting [F] gears.
_ [A] Mama was a little girl, oh now she's [E] shine.
Papa was a good'un but the jealous [A] kind.
Papa loved mama, mama loved him bad.
_ _ [B] Mama's in the graveyard, [E] papa's in the pen.
Oh.
