Papas faith is people,
Mama, she believes in cleanin.
Papas faith is in peo- - -ple,
Ma- -ma, shes al- - - - - -ways clea- - - -nin.
Papa brought home the sugar,
Mama taught me the dee- - -per meanin.
/
She dont like my kick-pleat skirt,
/ /
She dont like my eyelids pain-ted green
She dont like me stayin up late in my high-heeled shoes,
Livin for that rock-n-roll dancin scene.
Papa says, Leave the girl alone mother,
Shes lookin like a Mo- - vie Queen.
Mama thinks she spoilt me.
/ /
Papa knows somehow he set me free
Mama thinks she spoilt me rotten
She blames herself
But Papa, he blesses me.
Its a rough road to travel, Mama
Let go now, its always called for me.
Some-times I get that feeling
And I want to settle and raised a child up with somebody.
I get that strong long- - -ing
And I want to set- tle and raise a child up with somebody
But it passes like the summer
Im a wild seed again, let the wind carry me.
