Mama's in the graveyard, Papa's in the Pen

I was into Garth Brooks for a while. I still like him, but I was always amazed and impressed at the simplicity, realness and humor of this song.

I am sure someone else wrote it and Garth Brooks just sang it but it's one of 'those songs'.

It tells the story of how Papa loved Mama, but Mama loved men, and ultimately the impact it had on their truck-driving Papa.

Poor  Papa out there on the road all those days, kept coming home to Mama, (or Mama + friend), and finally cracks up in the end.

Or maybe he came to his senses!

Good song, worth downloading and listening to every once in a while.
