AIN'T NO EVIL IN THE SHADOW OF THE STEEPLE - MOMMA USED TO SAY
HOLY BIBLES & TENT REVIVALS KEPT HER ON THE NARROW WAY
DADDY WORKED 9-5 IN A SUIT & TIE TO UPHOLD THE FAMILY NAME
4 GENERATIONS OF GOOD REPUTATIONS
FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE
BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN - YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA GET
A BAD SEED, CRAZY NEXT OF KIN
A HELL RAISIN' SKIRT CHASIN' REBEL THAT DON'T FIT IN
THAT STRAIGHT LACED D-N-A DIDN'T MAKE ITS WAY TO ME
I'M THE WILDEST BRANCH ON THE FAMILY TREE
WHEN I TURNED 16 MY DADDY FREAKED
WHEN I BOUGHT MY FIRST GUITAR
NEXT THING YOU KNOW I WAS GIGGIN' SHOWS UNDERAGE AT THE BARS
NOW I'M OUTLAW SINGIN' - GOT THE GIRLS SCREAMING
ROLLING FROM TOWN TO TOWN
I DROWN MY ROOTS IN 90 PROOF - I MAY NEVER SETTLE DOWN
AND I KNOW TO THIS DAY MY POOR MOMMA PRAYS
CAUSE I'M A BAD SEED, CRAZY NEXT OF KIN
A HELL RAISIN' SKIRT CHASIN' REBEL THAT DON'T FIT IN
THAT STRAIGHT LACED D-N-A DIDN'T MAKE ITS WAY TO ME
I'M THE WILDEST BRANCH ON THE FAMILY TREE
I'M A BAD SEED, A CRAZY NEXT OF KIN
A HELL RAISIN' SKIRT CHASIN' REBEL THAT DON'T FIT IN
THAT STRAIGHT LACED D-N-A DIDN'T MAKE ITS WAY TO ME
I'M THE WILDEST BRANCH ON THE FAMILY TREE
