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
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 feelin'
And I might just kinda like it somewhere 'round there
I hear tell there's fertile land and 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
Let me tell you baby, I 'm a bad seed
