Capo 4
[Intro]
A A A A
[Verse 1]
AThe only joint my mother burned was on the rural route
AShe parked in old man Taylor's woods so she wouldn't be found out
ATurned off her dome light and snuck off by herself
ACrouched down beneath that window, fired it up, and gave it hell
[Chorus]
AThat hangout my daddy used to Dhang aAround
We Awatched it all go up in smoke unEtil it all came down
AJust like that the tabs and stools and Dtables got Aturned
ATo the only joint my Emomma ever, Aburned, burned
[Verse 2]
AJust like someone flipped a switch, dad started coming home
ANo more eating late cause supper's with that tavern gone
AI had my suspicions, til the night when we said grace
ADad said, "Forgive us, our transgressions as I lit up momma's face."
[Chorus]
Like that Ahangout my daddy used to Dhang aAround
We Awatched it all go up in smoke unEtil it all came down
AJust like that the tabs and stools and Dtables got Aturned
To the Aonly joint my Emomma ever Aburned, (burned x7)
[Bridge]
Of Dall the small town bonfires and Abloodhounds in this town
I'm the Donly one who ever found out aEbout
[Chorus]
That Ahangout my daddy used to Dhang aAround
We Awatched it all go up in smoke unEtil it all came down
AJust like that the tabs and stools and Dtables got Aturned
ATo the only joint my Emomma ever Aburned

Capo 4

[Intro]

A A A A

[Verse 1]

The only joint my mother burned was on the rural route

She parked in old man Taylor's woods so she wouldn't be found out

Turned off her dome light and snuck off by herself

Crouched down beneath that window, fired it up, and gave it hell

[Chorus]

A D A

That hangout my daddy used to hang around

A E

We watched it all go up in smoke until it all came down

A D A

Just like that the tabs and stools and tables got turned

A E A

To the only joint my momma ever, burned, burned

[Verse 2]

Just like someone flipped a switch, dad started coming home

No more eating late cause supper's with that tavern gone

I had my suspicions, til the night when we said grace

Dad said, "Forgive us, our transgressions as I lit up momma's face."

[Chorus]

A D A

Like that hangout my daddy used to hang around

A E

We watched it all go up in smoke until it all came down

A D A

Just like that the tabs and stools and tables got turned

A E A

To the only joint my momma ever burned, (burned x7)

[Bridge]

D A

Of all the small town bonfires and bloodhounds in this town

D E

I'm the only one who ever found out about

[Chorus]

A D A

That hangout my daddy used to hang around

A E

We watched it all go up in smoke until it all came down

A D A

Just like that the tabs and stools and tables got turned

A E A

To the only joint my momma ever burned
