[00:33.76] | Your Daddy was mad as hell |
[00:35.76] | |
[00:36.51] | He was mad at me and you |
[00:38.57] | As he tied that chain to the front of my car and pulled me out of that ditch that we slid into |
[00:43.88] | |
[00:44.87] | Don't know what his problem is |
[00:46.62] | |
[00:47.24] | Why he keeps dragging you away |
[00:49.74] | Don't know why I put up with this shit |
[00:52.55] | When you don't put out and Zip City's so far away |
[00:55.29] | |
[01:24.37] | Your Daddy is a deacon down at the Salem Church of Christ |
[01:28.24] | |
[01:29.05] | And He makes good money as long as Reynolds Wrap keeps everything wrapped up tight |
[01:34.10] | |
[01:35.60] | Your Mama's as good a wife and Mama as she can be |
[01:39.22] | |
[01:40.34] | And your Sister's puttin' that sweet stuff on everybody in town but me |
[01:44.90] | |
[01:46.89] | Your Brother was the first-born, got ten fingers and ten toes |
[01:50.26] | |
[01:51.45] | And it's a damn good thing cause He needs all twenty to keep the closet door closed |
[01:56.63] | |
[02:29.14] | Maybe it's the twenty-six mile drive from Zip City to Colbert Heights |
[02:33.89] | |
[02:35.26] | Keeps my mind clean |
[02:36.44] | |
[02:37.63] | Gets me through the night |
[02:39.19] | |
[02:40.31] | Maybe you're just a destination, a place for me to go |
[02:45.18] | A way to keep from having to deal with my seventeen-year-old mind all alone |
[02:50.67] | |
[02:51.67] | Keep your drawers on, girl, it ain't worth the fight |
[02:54.97] | |
[02:56.10] | By the time you drop them I'll be gone |
[02:58.72] | And you'll be right where they fall the rest of your life |
[03:02.27] | |
[03:23.99] | You say you're tired of me taking you for granted |
[03:26.92] | |
[03:28.29] | Waiting' up till the last minute to call you up and see what you want to do |
[03:33.85] | |
[03:35.10] | Well you're only fifteen, girl, you ain't got no secretary |
[03:38.97] | |
[03:40.47] | And "for granted" is a mighty big word for a country girl like you |
[03:45.21] | |
[03:45.83] | You know it's just your Daddy talking |
[03:47.64] | |
[03:48.89] | Cause He knows that blood red carpet at the Salem Church of Christ |
[03:53.63] | |
[03:54.44] | Ain't gonna ever see no wedding between me and you |
[03:58.75] | |
[04:42.80] | Zip City it's a good thing that they built a wall around you |
[04:47.73] | |
[04:48.48] | Zip up to Tennessee then zip back down to Alabama |
[04:52.91] | |
[04:54.29] | I got 350 heads on a 305 engine |
[04:58.84] | |
[04:59.59] | I get ten miles to the gallon |
[05:01.96] | |
[05:02.52] | I ain't got no good intentions |
