Dads are good for teaching how to pitch and throw a curveball

Sneakin' out and raisin' too much hell at seventeen

Whеn I got back home, she was waitin' on the porch
C majorC              G+G
 Wasn't pissеd off, didn't cuss me,
     DmDm      G+G
She just held out her hand
      Dm7Dm7              FF

     Dm7Dm7               G+G
And don't disappoint your mom like this no more"

She went to college 'til she dropped out
    FF          G+G
Settled down in a not-got-a-lot town

When life brought her rain, she got good at prayin'
