[Intro]
| D | Bm |
[Verse 1]
G
A D Bm
It was always hotter than the grease she used to fry that
chicken
G A
Smelled like Marlboro Reds and all the butter from her
biscuits
D
And that Lincoln in the driveway,
Bm
circa 1982
G A
Was on the shiny side of rusty and on the paler side of
blue
G A D
Cussin' and complainin' weren't allowed at Mamaw's house
[Chorus]
G
If every nightstand had a Bible,
D A
every front porch had a swing
G
If every backyard had a garden,
D A
every front door had a screen
Well,
Bm A G D
maybe this crazy world would straighten up and slow on down
G A D
If every town had a Mamaw's house
[Verse 2]
Bm
G D Bm
She'd ask if I was hungry every thirty seconds
G A
And say things like "hellfire," "tarnation,
" and "I reckon's"
D Bm
It's where I spent my summers and she put me to work
G A
Shellin' peas and shuckin' corn until my fingers hurt
G A D
No tellin' who I'da been without Mamaw's house
[Chorus]
G
If every nightstand had a Bible,
D A
every front porch had a swing
G
If every backyard had a garden,
D A
every front door had a screen
Well,
Bm A G D
maybe this crazy world would straighten up and slow on down
G A D
If every town had a Mamaw's house
[Bridge]
G
Yeah, and if they did,
when I punched the clock
A Bm A G
Tonight, I know right where I'd be
I'd walk in and get a big old hug
A
And a bigger glass of tea
[Chorus]
G
If every nightstand had a Bible,
D A
every front porch had a swing
G
If every backyard had a garden,
D A
every front door had a screen
Well,
Bm A G D
maybe this crazy world would straighten up and slow on down
G A D
If every town had a Mamaw's house
Yeah,
Bm A G D
maybe this crazy world would straighten up and slow on down
G A D
If every town had a mamaw's house
