the joint

Lyrics

the only joint my momma burned was on the rural route, she parked in old man taylor's woods so she wouldn't be found out, turned off her dome light and snuck off by herself, crouched down beneath that window, fired it up and gave it hell, that hangout my daddy used to hang around, we watched it all go up in smoke until it all came down, just like that, the taps and stools and the tables got turned, to the only joint my momma ever burned, burned, just like someone flipped a switch, dad started coming home, no more eating late cold suppers with that tavern gone, i had my suspicions, til one night when we said grace, dad said, "forgive us our transgressions", that smile lit up momma's face, like that hangout my daddy used to hang around, we watched it all go up in smoke until it all came down, just like that, the taps and stools and the tables got turned, to the only joint my momma ever burned, burned, of all the small town barney fifes, and bloodhounds in this town, i'm the only one who ever found out about, that hangout my daddy used to hang around, we watched it all go up in smoke until it all came down, just like that, the taps and stools and the tables got turned, to the only joint my momma ever burned, burned, burned, burned
