Intro C G C G
C G
Daddy's bourbon breathe was strong as gasoline,
F G
and it seemed to fuel the rage he had inside.
C G
He'd come home just burning, mad, drunk, and mean,
F G
raising hell on a Saturday night.
Am G F
Mom would lock us up in her bedroom,
Am G F
he'd be lying in the hallway on our way to sunday school.
(Chorus)
F C
They Both in their own ways became my saving grace.
Am G F
Daddy passed out with his demons, momma passed the offering plate.
F C
And she'd cry out to heaven protect this son of mine,
Am G F G C
while daddy kept the devil off my back by taking up his time.
C G
Mom said nobody's perfect as we walked in the church
F G
to ask the good lord to forgive him again.
C G
I still recall that sermon I hung on every word That's when
F G
I learned just exactly what father really meant.
Am G F
And the angels and the people gathered round.
Am G F
I was standing in that water when the preacher laid me down.
Repeat Chorus and add at the end
Daddy kept the devil off my back by taking up his time.
