Said he [D]ain't comin' [G]back a[D]gain
Said he [D]ain't gonna [D/F#]be nobody's [G]second best
Just cause [E]mama's got a special kind of [A]friend
[D]Papa [G]he left [D]home today
Said he [D]ain't comin' [G]back no [D]more
Said he [D]ain't gonna [D/F#]take no [G]damn back seat

[A]Mama's got a girlfriend [D]now
You see [D]mama don't [G]watch your damn [D]football
And your [D]beer drinkin' [G]just won't [D]do
You're just [D]stayin' out [D/F#]late
And you're [G]preachin' the hate
And you [E]never have been [A]true
You see [D]mama she [G]want her some[D]body
Who will [D]let her [G]be her[D]self
So she's [D]leavin' [D/F#]you
And your [G]stinky damn ways
Cause she's [A]found somebody [D]else

[D]Papa he left [G]home to[D]day
He was [D]wavin' his [G]hands and [D]cryin'
You could [D]tell by the [D/F#]sound
And the [G]tone in his voice
That his [E]heart was slowly [A]dyin'
But [D]mama said "[G]Boy if I [D]ever
[D]Catch you 'round [G]here a[D]gain
You ain't [D]never gonna [D/F#]have no[G]body else
Not a [A]woman or a [D]man"
