Tom T Hall - Jesus On The Radio (Daddy On The Phone) lyrics

rate me

Mama likes to listen to the grand old gospel time

Daddy is a cowboy drinkin' beer and wine

Mama's in the kitchen standin' there all alone

She got Jesus on the radio and daddy on the phone

Daddy says come on down to Tootsie's and have yourself a beer

Mama's in the kitchen standin' there in tears

My mama love my daddy but it's breaking up our home

She got Jesus on the radio and daddy on the phone

Mama don't like drinkin' and she don't understand

Daddy's had a hard life a deeply troubled man

It's honky tonk and gospel that's breaking up our home

She got Jesus on the radio and daddy on the phone

Daddy says come on down...

I came home one evening there was mama on her knees

Big old tears of gospel joy running down her cheeks

She says you don't have to worry son we are not alone

I got Jesus on the radio and Jesus on the phone

Daddy says come on down...
