Home for Pete's Sake

Lyrics

I became a woman of the world
 'Cause I was fed up with the farm
 And I thought pretty clothes and city lights
 Running round both day and night could do no harm
 A party girl I mixed for 'bout myself
 Into a fix for running wild
 So I wrote my dad and mom
 Asked if I could come back home to have my child
 I received the letter from the folks back home
 And they said things were fine
 They went on to say that Pete the boy
 I broke up with was about to lose his mind
 But I couldn't hardly read the rest
 The words were being bloted by my tears
 I'm feelin' so ashamed he loved me then
 He feels the same he still cares
 So I'm going home for Pete's sake
 It was I who broke his heart in the first place
 If he'll try me one more time
 For then I've made up my mind
 And in the morning I'm going home for Pete's sake
 Yes for Pete's sake my baby's and mine
