'Stead 'A Becoming Mama, I Became My Daddy

HummerWisdom

Embellished truth . . .

‘STEAD ‘A BECOMING MAMA, I BECAME MY DADDY

[Verse 1]

Well, I quit smokin’ but traded one bad habit for another

‘Cuz I never put this vape-stick down like a pacifier

Reminds me of my reckless life when my true love parted

Seems that’s when my drinkin’ an’ gamblin’ all started

[Chorus]

‘Stead ‘a becomin’ Mama

I became my daddy

‘Cuz Mama didn’t drink and gamble

Gave up smokin’ gladly

‘Stead ‘a becomin’ Mama

I became my daddy

Up at four in the mornin’ twenty-five years an' countin’

Workin’ for beans at the factory

[Verse 2]

But bein’ like Daddy there are lots ‘a worse things to be

‘Cuz Daddy would give you the shoes off ‘a his sore feet

And when that beat up black Rambler wouldn’t start again

Daddy’d get under the hood, I handed him the wrench

[Chorus]

‘Stead ‘a becomin’ Mama

I became my daddy

‘Cuz Mama didn’t drink and gamble

Gave up smokin’ gladly

‘Stead ‘a becomin’ Mama

I became my daddy

Up at four in the mornin’ twenty-five years an' countin’

Workin’ for beans at the factory

[Bridge]

Daddy O sweet Daddy, rest his renewed soul

Didn’t need gamblin’ to see streets paved with gold

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

And just like Dad over the years, I’ve become reformed

I’ve quit drinkin’ and gamblin’ and cussin’ at the Lord

And in a few short years, I hope to join Daddy up in Heaven

In a paradise free from the Devil and any bad leaven

[Chorus]

‘Stead ‘a becomin’ Mama

I became my daddy

‘Cuz Mama didn’t drink and gamble

Gave up smokin’ gladly

‘Stead ‘a becomin’ Mama

I became my daddy

Up at four in the mornin’ twenty-five years an' countin’

Workin’ for beans at the factory……..
