Daddy's Mugshot

When I was younger I thought he was a god with a guitar Mama was a bombshell with her hand on her hip Standing outside the trailer park Every time he'd vanish And I the angel he'd banish Now I'm a little too Texas for Tennesee I smiled in the picture, but I was gritting my teeth They found bitter in my bones when they broke this show pony Said I'd be a star, hell, they don't even know me What runs in the blood ain't ever gonna stop I might look like my mama But I smile like my daddy's mugshot I made a record that didn't break no records Only my soul I ran my mouth and I swore up and down That I'd pack all my shit and go home Oh, I shoulda known I'm a little too Texas for Tennesee I smiled in the picture, but I was gritting my teeth They found bitter in my bones when they broke this show pony Said I'd be a star, hell, they don't even know me What runs in the blood ain't ever gonna stop I might look like my mama But I smile like my daddy's mugshot Yeah, I wouldn't kiss the ring, wouldn't get down on my knees When they kicked me out the door, I could hear em saying, "She's A little too Texas for Tennesee" I smiled in the picture, but I was gritting my teeth They found bitter in my bones when they broke this show pony Said I'd be a star, hell, they don't even know me What runs in the blood ain't ever gonna stop I might look like my mama But I smile like my daddy's mugshot Mm Yeah, they'll get their karma And I'll smile like my daddy's mugshot
