Conway Twitty - Bad Seed My Daddy Sowed lyrics

I was found in Wilson County just a mile outside of town

On the doorsteps of two people who brought me up to where I am

I was born to be a loser and my name nobody knows

And as far as they concern I'm just a bad seed daddy sowed

They brough me up to the age of ten before they let me know

And since that day it seemed that life lost its magic glow

But they raised me right and every night in prayer we bowed our heads

And they asked the Lord to light my path and guide each step I made

But the path you're walking on becomes a mighty rocky road

When you know that all you'll ever be is a bad seed daddy sowed

At thirty one my heart was won by a girl half my age

And with love so strong I could see no wrong in decision that I made

And you know I learned that there was truth in all I always been told

Because you can't judge a book by its cover

And everything that's shinin' sure isn't gold

Yes I guess I'm guilty of dreaming an impossible dream

Because the way the things turned out sure isn't way it seemed

And so tonight I'm leavin' behind the only thing I ever had to call my own

And I know as long as you live you're always be a reminder of all my wrongs

But I hope that he'll forgive me when he's old enough to know

That just like me he'll always be the bad seed his daddy sowed
