Whiskey Colored Crayon Lyrics by Lainey Wilson
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
A whiskey colored crayon
