James Bonamy - A Chance In Hell - Sözleri

(R. Springer/T. Martin)



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 morning 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 outside

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
