Daddy loves mama like he's spreadin' on molasses thick
Mama thinks daddy's just a backwoods cornbread cake
Mama plus daddy equals trouble when they start to drink
Me and my sister pourin' liquor down the kitchen sink
Mama's on a roll, daddy's lookin' old
Mama's on a kick, daddy's lookin' sick
Daddy goes fishin' and he takes me with him now and then
He likes to wake me up early with a camel and a poor boy grin
Me and my sister thinkin' mama's runnin' way too hot
Cussin' out daddy in the middle of a parkin' lot
Mama's on a roll, daddy's lookin' old
Mama's on a binge, daddy's on the fringe
It's the same old song, same old story
Wakin' up the neighbors in a blaze of glory
Shootin' out the windows with a pistol she can hardly hold
You can see it comin' like a blazin' star
Mama's burnin' rubber in a wore-out car
Watchin' daddy drownin' with a dark night in his soul
I love my daddy, lord knows that he ain't no saint
Drunk callin' mama from the beer joint sayin' he
When mama left daddy he flat refused to sleep
Me and my sister watch him starin' in the TV
Mama's on a roll, daddy's lookin' old
Mama's on a roll
Mama's on a roll
