Ain't been in Little Rock but two weeks and here I am now

Packing up and disappearing in-to thin air

Girls in Little Rock are cute but I can't make my heart take root 

                     F            C 
Cause bad seed won't grow just anywhere

I need lots of sunshine I need lots of raindrops

And I need to breathe the open air 

F                         C 
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 

F                          C                   F

Cause bad seed don't grow just anywhere

C                F          C      G7          C 
And I might just kinda like it somewhere round there 

F                              C 
Hear tell there's fertile land white pearly silver sand 

                   F            C 
And bad seed won't grow just anywhere

I need lots of sunshine I need lots of raindrops

And I need to breathe the open air 

F                         C 
I hope to beg your pardon your town just ain't my garden 

               F            C 
Bad seed won't grow just anywhere 


                          F           C
