Daddy’s Mugshot Lyrics By 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
