D7
Papa drove a truck nearly all his life

            D7
You know it drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife

    E7
The part she couldn't handle was the being alone

            F                               E7
I guess she needed more to hold than just a telephone

D7
Papa called mama each & every night

        D7
Just to ask her how she was & if us kids were alright

 E7
Mama would wait for that call to come in

            F                    E7         D7
But when daddy'd hang up she was gone again
chorus.... #1 A7 Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
                  D7
                Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind

                  D7
                Papa loved mama, mama loved men

                 Am                      E7           D7
                Mama's in the graveyard papa's in the pen
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.....
Am                      E7            D7
Mama's in the graveyard papa's in the pen
Mama's in the graveyard papa's in the pen
