She's wearin' her mama's shoes And cryin' like a baby Standin' on the edge screamin' Somebody save me She called her daddy from a pay phone He says you're livin' in sin You can come back home But you can't come in
And it's wrong It's just wrong It's all wrong
He's a house full of people Whether he's drinkin' or not But she's gotta keep tryin' 'Cause he's all she's got She's back on the phone With another roll of dimes 'Cause it's hard not to argue With a fool sometimes
And it's wrong It's just wrong It's all wrong
With an itchy trigger finger And a heart full of grief A woman like that puts out a lotta heat And the flame burns hotter On the long ride home Where a sad little man waits all alone
And it's wrong It's just wrong It's all wrong
She was like an apparition Coming through the door Shot her daddy dead On the living room floor She threw down the gun and began to cry Said "my daddy never loved me and I don't know why"
