Sullematic - Getting Used to It

Mama would never talk about heartache
Or anything that resembled a mistake
Daddy didn't talk that much at all
Might as well be talking to a wall

Makes you wonder what they had to say
When they made you in his chevrolet
Golden promises in the dark
Don't shine in light of day

Daddy's looking for a new job
He doesn't seem to look that hard
Daddy's says he's waiting on a new job
One that's gonna take him real far                                                                                                                                              Momma says he better straighten up quick
But I think she's getting used to it

Daddy was going to trade school in the fall
he dropped out, no plan, no job, no money at all
Just a room in the basement of the house he grew up in
they never got married, she just moved in

He'd stumble home late at night
Pour another drink, high as a kite
Singing songs with the record player on
And dance till the morning light

Daddy's looking for a new job
He doesn't seem to look that hard
Daddy's says he's waiting on a new job
One he says will take him real far                                                                                                 
Momma says he better straighten up quick
But I think she's getting used to it
But I think she's getting used to it

No one ever understood why she stayed
Why she didn't get angry or turn away
She'd sit by the window all night long
She might head to bed but she always left a light on

She doesn't mind what people say
She's gotten used to him this way
the flame's still burning bright
And she still leaves on a light

Daddy's looking for a new job
He doesn't seem to look that hard
Daddy's says he's waiting on a new job
One that's gonna take him real far                                                                                                                                            Momma says he better straighten up quick
But I think she's getting used to it
But I think she's getting used to it
But I think she's getting used to it
