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 Tallahassee 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
