Your Father And I

	  		


A 
It was the middle of winter 
A 
And I drove us in my car 
D 
Well, the snow started fallin' 
E  
So we stopped off at a bar 
  
A 
When the beer jugs started flowin' 
A  
And your mother and I took the floor 
D 
But by the last dance we were tired 
E  
So I booked a room next door 
  
A 
So if anyone asks you 
A  
If you come from heaven above 
D  
You're from a one star motel 
E                           A 
With a five star passionate love 
  

A 
It was a hot summers day 
 (Hey, hey) 
A 
And we drove there in our car 
D  
And your father was thirsty 
E  
So we had to find a bar 
  

A 
Well he wouldn't stop drinking 
A  
And he couldn't stand on his feet 
D  
We had to walk to a hotel 
E  
And book ourselves into a suite 
  
A 
So if the teacher asks you 
A  
Are you from heaven or are you from hell?" 
D  
You're from a one star drunken screw 
E  
In a one star motel 
  
A 
Yes, if the teacher asks you 
A 
Are you from heaven or are you from hell?" 
D  
You're from a pitch black toilet 
E                 A  
In a highway Taco Bell 
  


I'll remember the birth 
For the rest of my time on this land 
You're mother's sweating buckets 
And me holdin' onto her hand 
  


Well your father was absent 
He claimed he couldn't find the ward 
Just tugging on mescal 
Trying to eat the umbilical cord 
  


So if anyone asks you 
"Do you know where you're from?", say, "Yes" 
You're from your mother's womb 
And your father's stinking breath 
  


And if they ask you, how you got here? 
 (Hey) 
Tell 'em just what it took 
 (Hey) 
Your father's stinking breath 
 (Hey) 
And your mother's stinking mood 
  


Your father and I won't tell the whole truth 
Your father and I won't tell the truth 
Your father and I won't tell the whole truth 
Your father and I won't tell the truth 
Your father and I won't tell the whole truth 
Your father and I won't tell the truth 
Won't tell the truth 
  


Aha, hey 
Aha, aha 
 (Hey, hey) 
Na na na na na na na na 
 (Hey, hey) 
  


Your father and I won't tell the whole truth 
Your father and I won't tell the truth 
Your father and I won't tell the whole truth 
 (Hey) 
Your father and I won't tell the truth 
Your father and I won't tell the whole truth 
Your father and I won't tell the truth 
Your father and I won't tell the whole truth 
Your father and I
