Lyrics

Momma kept a wad of bills in her apron pocket

The one she always wore around the house

She used to wear a golden chain until she had to hawk it

To feed our very hungry mouths

Daddy worked a nine to five it's not that he was lazy

But he couldn't keep a bottle very far

When he finally left the family he called my momma crazy

She watched him put his bags into the car


And I take tickets at the midway

Watch the kids play have their fun

Tuck my ticket stubs into the pocket

Of my apron when I'm done


Momma kept a picture of a soldier in her drawer

Though she never even mentioned it out loud

I thought the fighting nature of the man did something for her

Was the little things that always made her proud

I watched her put her hair up and red paint across her lips

As she set out for another night in town

She couldn't make a living with a baby on her hips

So she handed him to me to put him down


And I take tickets at the midway

Watch the kids play have their fun

Tuck my ticket stubs into the pocket

Of my apron when I'm done


One day daddy came back home

Pulled right up on the grass

In a brand new Chevrolet pickup truck

He said that sometimes life will just hand you your ass

And sometimes life will hand you some luck

When he saw the baby he eyed him with suspicion

And pushed right through the broken front screen door

He hollered momma's name out as he walked into the kitchen

But momma couldn't hear him anymore


And I take tickets at the midway

Watch the kids play have their fun

Tuck my ticket stubs into the pocket

Of my apron when I'm done


And I take tickets at the midway

Watch the kids play have their fun

Tuck my ticket stubs into the pocket

Of my apron when I'm done

Tuck my ticket stubs into the pocket

Of my apron when I'm done

Tuck my ticket stubs into the pocket

Of my apron when I'm done
