Mama and Daddy Lyrics

Daddy kept his Bible on the dashboard

Shotgun on the back glass

Two things there, that daddy believed

That every one of us should have

Mama always made damn sure

That her glass of red was near

Naw, there ain't no doubt on exactly how

Mama and Daddy stayed married for years

Daddy was big on the Good Book

Mama was good on a bottle of wine

He'd tell us all about the Lord on Sunday mornin'

Mama slowly sipped away her time

He found his strength in scripture

She found hers out on the vine

Daddy was big on the good book

Mama was good on a bottle of wine

Daddy always said you should do unto others

Just as you want done to you

Thirty something years

And the words ring clear

As the good honest-to-God truth

Mama walked a little stagger

Tried to blame it the nasty fall

Naw, we never said a word to her

We all knew it was the alcohol

Daddy was big on the Good Book

Mama was good on a bottle of wine

He'd tell us all about the Lord on Sunday mornin'

Mama slowly sipped away her time

He found his strength in scripture

She found hers out on the vine

Daddy was big on the good book

Mama was good on a bottle of wine

Daddy still folds his hands

Bows his head to pray

I wish Mama was still around

Well, I guess she found her own way

Daddy was big on the Good Book

Mama was good on a bottle of wine

He'd tell us all about the Lord on Sunday mornin'

Mama slowly sipped away her time

He found his strength in scripture

She found hers out on the vine

Daddy was big on the good book

Mama was good on a bottle of wine

Daddy was big on the good book

Mama was good on a bottle of wine
