Whiskey Colored Crayon

Kindergarten class teacher said, "Pass

Out that box of Crayolas

We're all gonna draw a picture of home

Help us get to know ya"

He drew a big orange sun

Shining down on

A little red house with a little green tree

A little blue car parked out on the street

Brother with a football, sister with a puppy dog

Mama with a smile and a church dress on

Then he raised his hand

Said "Teacher, I can't draw Daddy"

Do you have a whiskey colored crayon?

Teacher walked down the hall, made one call

Mama left work early

That picture on the desk made Mama a mess

Hearing the rest of the story

She didn't know what to say

But her mascara rained

On a little red house with a little green tree

A little blue car parked out on the street

Brother with a football, sister with a puppy dog

Mama with a smile and a church dress on

Then he raised his hand

Said "Teacher, I can't draw Daddy"

Do you have a whiskey colored crayon?

He stood up in that circle

Said I'm sober seven years

And all because our little boy drew this picture here

It's a little red house with a little green tree

A little blue car parked out on the street

Brother with a football, sister with a puppy dog

Mama with a smile and a church dress on

Then he raised his hand

Said "Teacher, I can't draw Daddy"

Do you have a whiskey colored crayon?

A whiskey colored crayon
