Jesus On The Radio (daddy On The Phone) Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

Mama likes to listen to the grand old gospel time 

Daddy is a cowboy drinkin' beer and wine 

Mama's in the kitchen standin' there all alone 

She got Jesus on the radio and daddy on the phone 

Daddy says come on down to Tootsie's and have yourself a beer 

Mama's in the kitchen standin' there in tears 

My mama love my daddy but it's breaking up our home 

She got Jesus on the radio and daddy on the phone 

Mama don't like drinkin' and she don't understand 

Daddy's had a hard life a deeply troubled man 

It's honky tonk and gospel that's breaking up our home 

She got Jesus on the radio and daddy on the phone 

Daddy says come on down... 

I came home one evening there was mama on her knees 

Big old tears of gospel joy running down her cheeks 

She says you don't have to worry son we are not alone
