Bad Seed My Daddy Sowed

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
