The only joint my mother burned was on the rural route She sparked in old man tater's woods so she wouldn't be found out Turned off the dome light and snuck off by herself Crashed down beneath that window, fired it up, and gave it hell At that hangout my daddy used to hang around We watched it all go up in smoke until it all came down Just like after tabs and stooge and tables got turned To the only joint my momma ever burned Just like someone flipped a switch, dad started coming home No more eating late cause supper's with that tater 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." At that hangout my daddy used to hang around We watched it all go up in smoke until it all came down Just like after tabs and stooge and tables got turned To the only joint my momma ever burned Lot of small town gonna find some bloodhounds in this town I'm the only one who ever found out was dad At that hangout my daddy used to hang around We watched it all go up in smoke until it all came down Just like after tabs and stooge and tables got turned To the only joint my momma ever burned
