Daddy Laid The Blues On Me 
Composer(s): Bobbie Cryner

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
"An' 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"

An' 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 Tallahasse 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"

An' 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

An' 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
