My daddy shot hisself to death
though he didn't have a reason
No, he didn't have one good reason left
Now that lead has cleared his head
He's found some peace at last and yet
he never asked me what I thought,
an' he never tried to tell me
'bout the demons that he fought
He never spied those tears I cried,
the tears that he would never shed
My momma worked herself to death
though she didn't have a reason
No, she didn't have one good reason left
Now her grave has freed a slave
She's found some peace at last and yet
she cain't be happy with the rest
'cause she never took a day off,
an' she always did her best
t' keep us fed and tucked in bed
Right now she's trimming God's split ends
My baby drank herself to death
though she didn't have a reason
No, she didn't have one good reason left
Now the booze has cured her blues
She's found some peace at last and yet
I know we'll never meet again
'less in another lifetime
we can recognize old friends
But if that's so, well, I just don't know
if I would love her once again
