Intro : E

Verse: 
E
Papa drove a truck nearly all of his life
            A
You know it drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife
    B               
The part she couldn't handle was the being alone
            C                               B
I guess she needed more to hold than just a telephone
E
Papa called mama each and every night
        A
Just to ask her how she was and if us kids were alright
B
Mama would wait for that call to come in
     C                            E
When daddy'd hang up she was gone again

Chorus:
A                        
Mama was a looker, Lord, how she shined
E
Papa was a good'n, but the jealous kind
A                               A A A A
Papa loved mama, Mama loved men
E                        B             E
Mama's in the graveyard, Papa's in the pen

Verse:
Well, it was bound to happen and one night it did
Papa came home and it was just us kids
He had a dozen roses and bottle of wine
If he was lookin' to surprise us, he was doin' fine
I heard him cry for mama up and 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 and headed into town

Chorus:
Well,the picture in the 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 brakes and he was shifting gears
Mama was a looker, Lord, how she shined
Papa was a good'n, but the jealous kind
Papa loved mama, Mama loved men
Mama's in the graveyard, Papa's in the pen
