Bobbie Cryner - Daddy Laid the Blues On Me lyrics

Well, way back in their younger days When they were running wild My daddy had a dream And Momma had a child He said: "Girl you can't be tying me down I'm only seventeen And a man's gotta get around, if you know what I mean." Then my Momma said, "Go on," As she stood and cried And my Daddy said, "I'm gone. I gotta live my life." And I was born one summer night When the world loved Patsy Cline I was raised by the tracks In a tar-paper shack on the Georgia-Alabama line Momma taught me how to play and sing And we headed up to Tennessee Momma sold my soul on country rock and roll But Daddy laid the blues on me Well I signed that dotted line And I climbed my way to being a star When I ran across my Daddy in a downtown Tallaha**ee bar He said, "Girl there ain't no life on the road You better come with me." I said: "Dad, I gotta get around if you know what I mean." Well, my daddy said: "Come on" With a tear in his eye I said, "Sorry Daddy, I'm gone I gotta live my life" And I was born one summer night When the world loved Patsy Cline I was raised by the tracks In a tar paper shack on the Georgia-Alabama line Momma taught me how to play and sing And we headed up to Tennessee Momma sold my soul on country rock and roll But Daddy laid the blues on me And I was born one summer night When the world loved Patsy Cline I was raised by the tracks In a tar-paper shack on the Georgia-Alabama line Momma taught me how to play and sing And we headed up to Tennessee Momma sold my soul on country rock and roll But Daddy laid the blues on me Yeah, Momma sold my soul on country rock and roll But Daddy laid the blues on me
