Pontiac (So Tell Me Momma)

So tell me momma

Since you say I'm just like him

I've heard of all the hell he'd raise

Way back in his younger days

Still you stood by him through thick and thin

Yeah, I look like him, talk like him drink like him

Fight like him and when I smile you say I've got his grin

So tell me momma since you say I'm just like him

What did he do?

What did he say

To change your mind and make you want to stay?

All she told me she was leaving

She never gave a reason

I drink her off my mind

But even whiskey don't do jack

So I'm down here on my knees

Praying that shе ain't leaving town

So tell me momma what did daddy do

To makе you turn that Pontiac around?

So tell me momma when the, hit the, fan that night

I heard you screamed "you've had enough"

You got my sister, packed our stuff

You wiped your tears and said everything will be all right

But you yelled at him

You cussed at him

You swore to him

You're done with him

You said you'll make the bed you're sleeping in

So tell me momma since you say I'm just like him

What did he do?

What did he say

To change your mind and make you wanna stay?

All she told me she was leaving

She never gave a reason

I drink her off my mind

But even whiskey don't do jack

So I'm down here on my knees

Praying that she ain't leaving town

So tell me momma what did daddy do

To make you turn that Pontiac around?

And round

There she goes, taillights rolling down a red dirt road

She never tapped the brakes

She's long gone with the wind

'Round and r'ound, there she goes

Taillights rolling down a red dirt road

She never tapped the brakes

Since you say I'm just like him

What did he do?

What did he say
