C                       G
Daddy's bourbon breathe was strong as gasoline
F                                     G
And it seemed to fuel the rage he had inside
C                            G
He'd come home just burning, mad and drunk and mean
F                              G
And raising hell on a Saturday night
Am                  G         F
Momma would lock us up in her bedroom
Am                   G           F
He'd be lying in the Hallway on our way to Sunday school





Chorus:

F                          C                                                      
They both in their own way became my saving grace
Am                        G                    F
Daddy passed out with his demons, Mamma would passed the offering plate
F                           C
And she'd cry out to heaven protect this son of mine 
Am                   G            F        
While daddy kept the devil off my back by taking up his time



C                           G
Momma said nobody's perfect as we walked in the church 
F                                  G
To ask the good Lord to forgive him again
C                          G
I still recall that sermon I hung on every word that's when 
F                            G
I learned just exactly what father really meant
Am                     G               F
And the angels and the people gathered round
Am                      G               F
I was standing in that water when that preacher laid me down


Chours: repeat

Am             G              F        
Daddy kept the Devil off my back by taken up his time
