Daddy was a drinkin' man, he never took to preachin'Said he found heaven in a drinkWell momma was a Bible totin', God fearin' ChristianWould tell the devil to his fate exactly what she thinksAs far as daddy knew momma couldn't driveSo every Sunday mornin' he'd give us a rideWell, he'd wait out in the car, drinkin' Jim Beam from a sackBut as the summer days grew hotter he found a pew in the backDaddy never had a chance in hellSomethin' that my momma knew so wellWhile everybody else gave upMomma wore him down with loveDaddy never had a chance in hellWell, Summer came and went but he stayed in the back rowBlamin' it on the cold North wind outsideWell I guess that explained the flannel shirt and jackBut he had no explanation when momma asked about his tieHe'd move up a little closer with every passing yearHe said it was because he simply couldn't hearI never thought that Dad would ever draw a sober breathMuch less lead us all in prayer when we laid mom to restSongtexteDaddy never had a chance in hellSomethin' that my momma knew so wellWhile everybody else gave upMomma wore him down with loveDaddy never had a chance in hellWhile everybody else gave upMomma wore him down with loveDaddy never had a chance in hell Aus Songtexte Mania
