Jesus On The Radio (Daddy On The Phone) Tom T. Hall

[Verse 1]
Mama likes to listen to the Grand Old Gospel Time
Daddy is a cowboy, drinking beer and wine
Mama's in the kitchen, standing there all alone
She got Jesus on the radio and Daddy's on the phone

[Chorus]
And Daddy says, "Come on down to Tootsie's and have yourself a beer"
Mama's in the kitchen, standing there in tears
My mama loves my daddy but it's breaking up our home
She got Jesus on the radio and Daddy's on the phone

[Verse 2]
Mama don't like drinking and she don't understand
Daddy's had a hard life, a deeply troubled man
It's honky-tonk and gospel that's breaking up our home
She got Jesus on the radio and Daddy's on the phone

[Chorus]
And Daddy says, "Come on down to Tootsie's and have yourself a beer"
Mama's in the kitchen, standing there in tears
My mama loves my daddy but it's breaking up our home
She got Jesus on the radio and Daddy's on the phone

[Verse 3]
I came home one evening, there was Mama on her knees
Big old tears of gospel joy running down her cheeks
She said, "You don't have to worry, son, we are not alone
I got Jesus on the radio and Jesus on the phone"
