Biography:
Troyal Garth Brooks (born February 7, 1962 in Tulsa, Oklahoma) is an American country music singer songwriter and charity director.
Brooks was a phenomenal musical force in the 1990s. He had his chart breakthrough in 1989, having come apparently from nowhere, and was an immediate commercial success. Lacking the tall and lanky physical appearance typical of some male country stars, he successfully integrated pop and rock elements into his recordings and live performances.

E7
Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
A7
You know it drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife
B7
The part she couldn't handle was the being alone
C B7
I guess she needed more to hold than just a telephone
E7
Papa called mama each every night
A7
Just to ask her how she was and if us kids were alright
B7
Mama would wait for that call to come in
C B E E - F# - G Ab - A
But when daddy'd hang up she was gone again
CHORUS 1:
A7
Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
E7
Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
A7 A7-A7-A7-A7-A7-A7
Papa loved mama mama loved men
Em B7 E7
Mama's in the graveyard papa's in the pen
E7
Well it was bound to happen one night it did
A7
Papa came home when it was just us kids
B7
He had a dozen roses and a bottle of wine
C7 B7
If he was looking to surprise us he was doing fine
E7
I heard him cry for mama up and down the hall
A7
Then I heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall
B7
That olâ diesel engine made an eeerie sound
C B7 E7 E7 - F# - G Ab - A
When papa fired it up and headed into town
CHORUS 2:
A7
Oh the picture in the paper showed the scene real well
E7
Papa's rig was buried in the local motel
A7 A7-A7-A7-A7-A7-A7
Desk clerk said he saw it all real clear
E7 B7 E7 E7 F F# - G Ab - A
He never hit the brakes and he was shifting gears
REPEAT CHORUS 1
Instrumental: A7 E7 (4 X, end on fourth time)
