Mom and daddy fought a war

Daddies dying, pain pills and pride and

  Sweet babies cry

                       B
But there's no one to tend to 'em

                  Cm
'Cause mama′s too hi-i-igh
                            B
And daddy′s too low in the grou-ou-ound

                Cm
Well mama′s too hi-i-i-igh
                            B
And daddy′s too low in the ground

Verse:
   B                                          G
So I went out to the west when I turned seventeen
                 B
And I married a girl

B                                G
I swear I did everything that I could
                      B
Just to give her the world

         B
But she left in a shout one night
                       G                     B
I guess a man doesn't fall too far from the tree

          B
'Cause I cheated in Barstow then died in Nevada
           G                       B    B
Now she′s raising the kids without me

Well you try to love like you're meant to
But you die before you learn how
Sweet babies cry but there′s no one to tend to 'em
Cause mama′s too high and daddy's too low in the ground
