  • Mama put brother on a prayer list
    When he got caught smoking that pot
    Daddy found out, first thing he could grab
    And he whipped with a Zebco rod
    When we messed up she'd fit us up
    With the scripture and a Baptist hymn
    And she'd pray we'd be a little more like her
    And a whole lot less like him

    Mama loved Jesus
    Daddy loved Jack Daniels
    She was red letter heaven
    He was old number seven
    Between the two of 'em
    Weren't nothin' they couldn't handle
    Mama loved Jesus
    Daddy loved Jack Daniels

    He hated how she never had no fun
    She hated how he had too much
    I got a little bit from both of them
    A little Bible and a little buzz
    I wound up turnin' out
    Smackdab in between
    His taste for Lynchburg
    And her grace from John 3:16

    Mama loved Jesus
    Daddy loved Jack Daniels
    She was red letter heaven
    He was old number seven
    Between the two of 'em
    Weren't nothin' they couldn't handle
    Mama loved Jesus
    Daddy loved Jack Daniels

    I'm a little hell yeah
    I'm a little hallelujah
    If there's a stool or a pew
    I might sit down next to ya

    Mama loved Jesus
    Daddy loved Jack Daniels
    She was red letter heaven
    He was old number seven
    Between the two of 'em
    Weren't nothin' they couldn't handle
    Mama loved Jesus
    Daddy loved Jack Daniels
