Tom: E
E
I grew up in what I thought was domestic bliss
A
I had a daddy and a mama and a brother and a sis
E B
Never knew nothing 'bout the finer things
E
We were livin' on weenies, beenies, and dreams
Daddy used to take alot of business trips
A
Pr omisin' us all a better life than this
E B
Said it was a sacrifice he had to make
E
Right about then, mama dropped another plate
E
Well it turned out daddy wasn't nothin' but a snake
A
He had a half a dozen women, in a half a dozen states
E B
Mama grew wiser as the years went by
E
She never said a word, kept it all inside
Well they found him face down in a motel room
A
Smellin' like liquor and a lover's perfume
E B
Standing by the gravesite, mama was a wreck
Till the State-Farm man, handed her a fat check
A
Daddy had a cardiac
Mama got a Cadillac
E
All of us kids done throwed away the tater sacks
B
Look at us now
Living that life
E
Daddy always promised us that he'd provide
A
Daddy's on a shady hill
Mama's in a Coupe Deville
E
Never have to worry 'bout another bill
B
Daddy died smiling
But mama got the last laugh
E
Daddy had a (No Chord) cardiac
Mama got a Cadillac
E
Well it's been awhile now since it all went down
A
Mama's still a hero all over town
E B
When the preacher does a serom about those who wait
E
Mama slips a hundred in the offerin' plate
Now, each and every year on the day he died
A
Mama dresses up for a Sunday drive
E B
Where she ever goes, she never does say
But, there's a (No Chord) fresh set of tire track on daddy's grave
A
Daddy had a cardiac
Mama got a Cadillac
E
All of us kids done throwed away the tater sacks
B
Look at us now
Living that life
E
Daddy always promised us that he'd provide
A
Daddy's on a shady hill
Mama's in a Coupe Deville
E
Never have to worry 'bout another bill
B
Daddy died smiling
But mama got the last laugh
E
Daddy had a (No Chord) cardiac
Mama got a Cadillac
A
Daddy's on a shady hill
Mama's in a Coupe Deville
E
Never have to worry 'bout another bill
B
Daddy died smiling
But mama got the last laugh
E
Daddy had a (No Chord) cardiac
Mama got a Cadillac
B
Daddy died smiling
But mama got the last laugh
E
Daddy had a (No Chord) cardiac
Mama got a Cadillac
E
Daddy had a (No Chord) cardiac
Mama got a Cadillac
