# Papa Loved Mama Garth Brooks

^E7Papa drove a truck nearly all his life You know it ^A7drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife The ^B7part she couldn't handle was the being alone I guess she ^Cneeded more to hold than just a ^B7telephone ^E7Papa called mama each & every night Just to ^A7ask her how she was & if us kids were alright M^B7ama would wait for that call to come in But when dad^Cdy'd hang up she was ^B7gone again ^E7

chorus.... #1 A7 Mama was a looker Lord how she shined

Pa^E7pa was a good'n but the jealous kind Pa^A7pa loved mama, mama loved men M^Emama's in the graveyard p^B7apa's in the ^E7pen

Well it was bound to happen & one night it did Papa came home & it was just us kids He had a dozen roses & a bottle of wine If he was looking to surprise us he was doing fine I heard him cry for mama up & down 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 & headed into town chorus... #2 Well the picture in teh 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 breaks & he was shifting gears chorus... #1.....

^EmMama's in the graveyard ^B7papa's in the ^E7pen Mama's in the graveyard papa's in the pen
