Song Lyrics

He was my baby when we were seventeen
I was hanging by my fingernails with the cool kids on the scene
He met someone cooler and prettier
He gave me the slip oh well

Before she met her lover-boy she was my best friend
He wanted her full attention so she never called again
Oh run for the hills my darling
That spiders out to catch him some flies
But she won't believe me that other ones were sleeping where she lies

I'm gonna buy me a one way ticket
Imma find a humble home
There's too much love in my heart
To spend my days alone

He was my lover and he promised me the world
He made an honest woman of me while he kicked it with his girls
I grabbed that rat by the tail and he landed on the cold wet street
Who knows what other poor little girls that rat did meet, acting sweet

My grandpa was a soldier, he fought for love and peace
He was treated like a criminal, was the kindest you could meet
Heaven only knows what he'd think of the world today
People lyin' cheatin' and hurtin' each other what would he say?

He'd say I'm gonna buy me a one way ticket
Imma find a humble home
I'm tired of these good-for-nothing humans
I'll live life on my own

He'd say I'm gonna buy me a one way ticket
Imma find a humble home
I'm tired of these good-for-nothing humans
I'll live life on my own

He was my baby when we were seventeen
I was hanging by my fingernails with the cool kids on the scene
He met someone cooler and prettier
He gave me the slip oh well
