James Bonamy - Daddy Never Had A Chance In Hell lyrics

Daddy was a drinkin' man, he never took to preachin'

Said he found heaven in a drink

Well momma was a Bible totin', God fearin' Christian

Would tell the devil to his fate exactly what she thinks

As far as daddy knew momma couldn't drive

So every Sunday mornin' he'd give us a ride

Well, he'd wait out in the car, drinkin' Jim Beam from a sack

But as the summer days grew hotter he found a pew in the back

Daddy never had a chance in hell

Somethin' that my momma knew so well

While everybody else gave up

Momma wore him down with love

Daddy never had a chance in hell

Well, Summer came and went but he stayed in the back row

Blamin' it on the cold North wind outsideJames Bonamy - Daddy Never Had A Chance In Hell - http://motolyrics.com/james-bonamy/daddy-never-had-a-chance-in-hell-lyrics.html

Well I guess that explained the flannel shirt and jack

But he had no explanation when momma asked about his tie

He'd move up a little closer with every passing year

He said it was because he simply couldn't hear

I never thought that Dad would ever draw a sober breath

Much less lead us all in prayer when we laid mom to rest

Daddy never had a chance in hell

Somethin' that my momma knew so well

While everybody else gave up

Momma wore him down with love

Daddy never had a chance in hell

While everybody else gave up

Momma wore him down with love

Daddy never had a chance in hell
