The Joint

LETRA

The Joint

The only joint my mama burned, was on a rural route
She parked in old man Taylor's woods
So she wouldn't be found out
Turned off her dome light, snuck off by herself
Crouched down beneath that window
Fired it up and gave it hell

That hang out my daddy used to hang around
We watched it all go up in smoke until it all came down
Just like that the tabs 'n stools and tables got turned
To the only joint my mama ever burned... burned

Just like someone flipped a switch, dad started comin' home
No more eatin' late, cause supper's with that tavern gone
I had my suspicions, till one night when we said grace
Dad said forgive us our tran'gression
A smile lit up mama'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 at the [?] 'n stools and tables got turned
To the only joint my mama ever burned
Burned... burned... burned

Burned... burned... burned... burned

Of all the small town Barney Fife's
And bloodhounds in this town
I'm only the 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 at the [?] 'n stools and tables got turned
To the only joint my mama ever burned
Burned... burned... burned... burned

Burned [x9]
