Glen Campbell Lyrics
"Bad Seed"

(Bill Anderson)

Ain't been in Little Rock but two weeks and here I am now
Packing up and disappearing into thin air
Girls in Little Rock are cute but I can't make my heart take root
'Cause bad seed won't grow just anywhere.

Well, I need lots of sunshine and I need lots of raindrops
And I need to breathe the open air
I hope to beg your pardon your town just ain't my garden
Bad seed won't grow just anywhere.

So honey, kiss goodbye to your bad seed
My love is not the kind that you need
I could stay here with you but I wouldn't play fair
'Cause bad seed don't grow just anywhere
And you're looking at the baddest of the bad seed.

Next stop is Jacksonville now I don't know but I've got the feeling
And I might just kinda like it somewhere round there
Hear tell there's fertile land white pearly silver sand
And bad seed won't grow just anywhere.

So honey, kiss goodbye to your bad seed
My love is not the kind that you need
I could stay here with you but I wouldn't play fair
'Cause bad seed don't grow just anywhere
And you're looking at the baddest of the bad seed.

Hmm, let me tell you honey, I'm the bad seed...
