I became a woman of the world cause I was fed up with the farm
|
And I thought pretty clothes and city lights
|
Running round both day and night could do no harm
|
A party girl I mixed for bout myself into a fix for running wild
|
So I wrote my dad and mom asked if I could come back home to have my child
|
I received the letter from the folks back home and they said things were fine
|
They went on to say that Pete the boy I broke up with was about to lose his mind
|
But I couldn't hardly read the rest the words were being bloted by my tears
|
I'm feelin' so ashamed he loved me then he feels the same he still cares
|
So I'm going home for Pete's sake it was I who broke his heart in the first place
|
If he'll try me one more time for then I've made up my mind
|
And in the morning I'm going home for Pete's sake
|
Yes for Pete's sake my baby's and mine
|
