dead wrong
delbert mcclinton
she's wearin' her mama's shoes
standin' on the edge screamin'
she called her daddy from a pay phone
he says you're livin' in sin
he's a house full of people
whether he's drinkin' or not
but she's gotta keep tryin'
'cause he's all she's got
with another roll of dimes
'cause it's hard not to argue
with an itchy trigger finger
and a heart full of grief
a woman like that puts out a lotta heat
and the flame burns hotter
where a sad little man waits all alone
she was like an apparition
she threw down the gun and began to cry
said my daddy never loved me and
