Petty Well, my daddy took me campin' out under the stars Left me by the fire while he hit the bars I broke my finger on a trailer hitch My mamma called daddy that son of a bitch, alright. A hundred miles to go and you draggin' your ass I'm in a Japanese car that ain't gonna last Forever drivin' on the wrong side of the road Wearing dungarees that your mamma stole. Well,my mamma loved me but my daddy don't Tryin' to work it all out but I probably won't There's a woman waiting at the top of the stairs It's the wrong thing to do but I don't care. Well, she was blond and tall, she was 23 Brought into this world to get the best of me And she never paid back half what she stole She wanted my money so I gave her my soul. Well,my mamma loved me but my daddy don't Tryin' to work it all out but I probably won't There's a woman waiting at the top of the stairs It's the wrong thing to do but I don't care. Yeah. Well,my mamma loved me but my daddy don't Tryin' to work it all out but I probably won't There's a woman waiting at the top of the stairs It's the wrong thing to do but I don't care. Well,I was flying half mast on the 4th of July In a bar in Lake City with a western tie I's thinkin' hard about changin' my name And headed for Miami when the daylight came. Well,my mamma loved me but my daddy don't Tryin' to work it all out but I probably won't There's a woman waiting at the top of the stairs It's the wrong thing to do but I don't care. Well,my mamma loved me but my daddy don't Tryin' to work it all out but I probably won't There's a woman waiting at the top of the stairs It's the wrong thing to do but I don't care.
