Daddy’s Mugshot Lyrics – Laci Kaye Booth
When I was younger
I thought he was a god with a guitar
Mama was a bombshell
With her hand on her hip
Standing outside the trailer park
Every time he’d vanish
& I the angel he’d banish
Now I’m a little too Texas for Tennesee
I smiled in the picture
But I was grittin’ my teeth
They found bitter in my bones
When they broke this show pony
Said I’d be a star
Hell, they don’t even know me
What runs in the blood
Ain’t ever gonna stop
I might look like my mama
But I smile like my daddy’s mugshot
I made a record
That didn’t break no records
Only my soul
I ran my mouth
And I swore up and down
That I’d pack all my shit and go home
Oh, I should’ve known
I’m a little too Texas for Tennesee
I smiled in the picture
But I was grittin’ my teeth
They found bitter in my bones
When they broke this show pony
Said I’d be a star
Hell, they don’t even know me
What runs in the blood
Ain’t ever gonna stop
I might look like my mama
But I smile like my daddy’s mugshot
Yeah, I wouldn’t kiss the ring
Wouldn’t get down on my knees
When they kicked me out the door
I could hear em saying she’s
A little too Texas for Tennesee
I smiled in the picture
But I was grittin’ my teeth
They found bitter in my bones
When they broke this show pony
Said I’d be a star
Hell, they don’t even know me
What runs in the blood
Ain’t ever gonna stop
I might look like my mama
But I smile like my daddy’s mugshot
Yeah, they’ll get their karma
And I’ll smile like my daddy’s mugshot
