[Intro] Sorry, y'all, my mamaw called me, I'll, I'll be D Bm G A right back, hello? [Verse 1] A D It was always hotter than Em the grease she used to D fry that chicken G Smelled like Marlboro Reds A and all the butter from her biscuits D And that Lincoln in the Em D driveway, circa 1982 G Was on the shiny side of rusty A and on the paler side of blue G 'Cussin and complainin' A D weren't allowed in Mamaw's house

[Chorus] G If every nightstand had a Bible, D A every front porch had a swing G If every backyard had a garden, D A every front door had a screen Bm A Well, maybe this crazy world G would straighten up and D slow on down G A If every town had a D Bm D G Mamaw's house [Verse 2] D Bm She'd ask if I was hungry every thirty seconds G And say things like "hellfire, A " "tarnation," and "I reckon's" D It's where I spent my summers Bm and she put me to work G Shellin' peas and shuckin' A corn until my fingers hurt G No tellin' who I'da been A D without Mamaw's house
