[Verse 1] Your daddy was mad as hell, he was mad at me and you When he tied that chain to the front of my car and pulled me out of that ditch that I slid into Dont know what his problem is, why he keeps sending me away Dont know why I put up with his shit when you dont put out and Zip Citys so far away [Verse 2] Your daddy is a deacon down at the Salem Church of Christ And he makes good money as long as Reynolds Wrap keeps everything wrapped up tight Your mamas as good a wife and mama as she can be And your sisters puttin that sweet stuff on everybody in town but me Your brother was the firstborn, got ten fingers and ten toes And its a damn good thing cause he needs all twenty to keep the closet door closd [Verse 3] Maybe its the twentysix mil drive from Zip City to Colbert Heights That keeps my mind clean and gets me through the night Maybe youre just a destination, a place for me to go Keeps me from having to deal with my seventeenyearold mind all alone Just keep your drawers on, girl, it aint worth the fight By the time you drop em, Ill be gone and youll be right where they fall the rest of your life [Verse 4] Oh, you say youre tired of me taking you for granted, waiting up til the last minute To call you up and see what you want to do But youre only fifteen, girl, you aint got no secretary And for granteds a mighty big word for a country girl like you Think thats just your daddy talking, cause he knows that blood red carpet At the Salem Church of Christ aint gonna ever see no wedding between me and you [Verse 5] Zip City, its a good thing that they built a wall around you Zip up to Tennessee or zip right down to Alabama I got threefifty heads on a 305 engine I get ten miles to the gallon, I aint got no good intentions [Outro] Thank you
