[Verse 1]
C
Mama put my brother on a prayer list
F
When he got caught smoking that pot
C
Daddy found out, first thing he could grab
G
And he whipped him with a Zebco rod
F
When we messed up she'd fit us up
C F
With the scripture and a Baptist hymn
C
And she'd pray we'd be a little more like her
G C
And a whole lot less like him
[Chorus]
F
Mama loved Jesus
C
Daddy loved Jack Daniels
G
She was red letter heaven
C
He was old number seven
F
Between the two of 'em
Am
Weren't nothin' they couldn't handle
F G
Mama loved Jesus
C
Daddy loved Jack Daniels
[Verse 2]
C
He hated how she never had no fun
F
She hated how he had too much
C
I got a little bit from both of them
G
A little Bible and a little buzz
F
I wound up turnin' out
C F
Smackdab in between
C
His taste for Lynchburg
G C
And her grace from John 3:16
[Chorus]
F
Mama loved Jesus
C
Daddy loved Jack Daniels
G
She was red letter heaven
C
He was old number seven
F
Between the two of 'em
Am
Weren't nothin' they couldn't handle
F G
Mama loved Jesus..
C
Daddy loved Jack Daniels
