Generate meaning
1
Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
2
You know it drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife
3
The part she couldn't handle was the being alone
4
I guess she needed more to hold than just a telephone
5
Papa called Mama each and every night
6
Just to ask her how she was and if his kids were alright
7
Mama would wait for that call to come in
8
When Daddy'd hang up she was gone again
9
Mama was a looker
10
Lord, how she shined
11
Papa was a good'
12
But the jealous kind
13
Papa loved Mama
14
Mama loved men
15
Mama's in the graveyard
16
Papa's in the pen
17
Well, it was bound to happen on the night it did
18
Papa came home and it was just us kids
19
He had a dozen roses and a bottle of wine
20
If he was lookin' to surprise us, he was doin' fine
21
I heard him cry for Mama up and own the hall
22
Then I heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall
23
That old diesel engine made an eerie sound
24
When Papa fired it up and headed into town
25
Well, the picture in the paper showed the scene real well
26
Papa's rig was buried in the local motel
27
The desk clerk said he saw it all real clear
28
He never hit the brakes and he was shifting gears
29
Mama was a looker
30
Lord, how she shined
31
Papa was a good'
32
But the jealous kind
33
Papa loved Mama
34
Mama loved men
35
Mama's in the graveyard
36
Papa's in the pen
