Eric Church - The Joint lyrics

The only joint my mother burned was on the rural route

She parked in old man Taylor's woods so she wouldn't be found out

Turned off her dome light and snuck off by herself

Crouched down beneath that window, fired it up, and gave it hell

That hangout my daddy used to hang around

We watched it all go up in smoke until it all came down

Just like that the tabs and stools and tables got turned

To the only joint my momma ever burned


Just like someone flipped a switch, dad started coming home

No more eating late cause supper's with that tavern gone

I had my suspicions, til the night when we said grace

Dad said, "Forgive us, our transgressions as I lit up momma's face."


Like that hangout my daddy used to hang around

We watched it all go up in smoke until it all came down

Just like that the tabs and stools and tables got turned

To the only joint my momma ever burned


Of all the small town bonfires and bloodhounds in this town

I'm the only one who ever found out about


That hangout my daddy used to hang around

We watched it all go up in smoke until it all came down

Just like that the tabs and stools and tables got turned

To the only joint my momma ever burned
