I grew [E]up in what I thought was domestic bliss
I had a [A]daddy and a mama and a brother and a sis
[E]Never knew nothing 'bout the [B]finer things
We were [E]livin' on weenies, beenies, and dreams
Daddy used to take alot of business trips
Pr [A]omisin' us all a better life than this
[E]Said it was a sacrifice he [B]had to make
[E]Right about then, mama dropped another plate
Well it [E]turned out daddy wasn't nothin' but a snake
He had a [A]half a dozen women, in a half a dozen states
[E]Mama grew wiser as the [B]years went by
She [E]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]Standing by the gravesite, [B]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
Well it's [E]been awhile now since it all went down
[A]Mama's still a hero all over town
When the [E]preacher does a serom about [B]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]Where she ever goes, she [B]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
