Standard (EADGBE)
Well my daddy took me camping out under the stars
Left me by the fire while he hit the bars
And I broke my finger on the trailer hitch
Momma called daddy a son of a bitch
Well a hundred miles ago youre dragging your ass
Im in a Japanese car it aint gonna last
And youre forever driving on the wrong side of the road
Wearing dungarees that youre mother stole
(chorus)
Well my momma loves me but my daddy dont
Ill try to work it all out, but I probably wont
I got a woman waiting at the top of the stairs
Its the wrong thing to do, but I dont care
Well she was blonde and tall, she was twenty three
Born into the world to get the best of me
And she never gave back half what she stole
She wanted my money so I give her my soul
Chorus
(Instrumental bridge, unknown)
Well I was flying half mast on the fourth of July
In a bar in Lake City with a western tie
And I was thinking hard bout changing my name
Then headed for Miami when the daylight came
