Jesus On The Radio (Daddy On The Phone)

Mama likes to listen to the grand old gospel time Daddy is a cowboy drinkin' beer and wine Mama's in the kitchen standin' there all alone She got Jesus on the radio and daddy on the phone Daddy says come on down to Tootsie's and have yourself a beer Mama's in the kitchen standin' there in tears My mama love my daddy but it's breaking up our home She got Jesus on the radio and daddy on the phone Mama don't like drinkin' and she don't understand Daddy's had a hard life a deeply troubled man It's honky tonk and gospel that's breaking up our home She got Jesus on the radio and daddy on the phone Daddy says come on down... I came home one evening there was mama on her knees Big old tears of gospel joy running down her cheeks She says you don't have to worry son we are not alone I got Jesus on the radio and Jesus on the phone Daddy says come on down... --- Jesus on the Radio (Daddy on the Phone) - Tom T.
