The Joint

A A A A A The only joint my mother burned was on the rural route A She parked in old man Taylor's woods so she wouldn't be found out A Turned off her dome light and snuck off by herself A Crouched down beneath that window, fired it up, and gave it hell A D A That hangout my daddy used to hang around A E We watched it all go up in smoke until it all came down A D A Just like that the tabs and stools and tables got turned A E A To the only joint my momma ever, burned, burned A Just like someone flipped a switch, dad started coming home A No more eating late cause supper's with that tavern gone A I had my suspicions, til the night when we said grace A Dad said, "Forgive us, our transgressions as I lit up momma's face." A D A Like that hangout my daddy used to hang around A E We watched it all go up in smoke until it all came down A D A Just like that the tabs and stools and tables got turned A E A To the only joint my momma ever burned, (burned 7x) D A Of all the small town bonfires and bloodhounds in this town D E I'm the only one who ever found out about A D A That hangout my daddy used to hang around A E We watched it all go up in smoke until it all came down A D A Just like that the tabs and stools and tables got turned A E A To the only joint my momma ever burned
