VERSE:
Dm
Papa used to grab my Mama
by the hair
Dm
He'd cuss her like a devil
D
while I stood right there
Dm
He'd punch her in the face and
leave her crying on the floor
Dm N.C.
But Papa ain't beating on Mama
D Dm D Dm
no mo-o-ore
Dm
Everybody knows Papa had
a wondering eye
Dm
He'd hit the hoochie coochie club
D
and drink the bar dry
Dm
He liked to run around with
a hand full of hoes
Dm N.C.
But Papa ain't cheating
D Dm
on Mama no mo-o-ore
CHORUS:

I was a teenage boy who loved his

mom a little too much
C G
To watch a man treat her like that

So I mowed a bunch of grass,

saved a bunch of cash
D G
Spent it at the local gun store
G N.C.
Well, Papa ain't beating on Mama

no mo-o-ore
