"Pontiac (So Tell Me Momma)" lyrics
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, and talk like him, and drink like him, and 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 she ain't leaving town
So, tell me Momma, what did Daddy do to make 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 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 she ain't leaving town
So, tell me Momma, what did Daddy do to make you turn that Pontiac around
Round 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 round, 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
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 she ain't leaving town
So, tell me Momma, what did Daddy do to make you turn that Pontiac around
So, tell me Momma, what did Daddy do to make you turn that Pontiac around
What did Daddy do
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, and talk like him, and drink like him, and 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 she ain't leaving town
So, tell me Momma, what did Daddy do to make 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 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 she ain't leaving town
So, tell me Momma, what did Daddy do to make you turn that Pontiac around
Round 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 round, there she goes
Taillights rolling down a red dirt road

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 she ain't leaving town
So, tell me Momma, what did Daddy do to make you turn that Pontiac around
So, tell me Momma, what did Daddy do to make you turn that Pontiac around
What did Daddy do
So, tell me Momma, since you say I'm just like him
