Bad Seed

(Bill Anderson)



Ain't been in Little Rock but two weeks and here I am now

Packing up and disappearing into thin air

Girls in Little Rock are cute but I can't make my heart take root

'Cause bad seed won't grow just anywhere.



Well, I need lots of sunshine and I need lots of raindrops

And I need to breathe the open air

I hope to beg your pardon your town just ain't my garden

Bad seed won't grow just anywhere.



So honey, kiss goodbye to your bad seed

My love is not the kind that you need

I could stay here with you but I wouldn't play fair

'Cause bad seed don't grow just anywhere

And you're looking at the baddest of the bad seed.



Next stop is Jacksonville now I don't know but I've got the feeling

And I might just kinda like it somewhere round there

Hear tell there's fertile land white pearly silver sand

And bad seed won't grow just anywhere.



So honey, kiss goodbye to your bad seed

My love is not the kind that you need

I could stay here with you but I wouldn't play fair

'Cause bad seed don't grow just anywhere

And you're looking at the baddest of the bad seed.



Hmm, let me tell you honey, I'm the bad seed...
