Lyrics
I was a young girl out in southern Alabama
Daddy worked in coal mines and a generator man
Working fourteen hours for a dollar here and there
Come home sick and dirty from the cold and misty air
Take one look at me standing there and call me near
Sit me in the rocking chair and whisper in my ear
Beastie, but baby beastie
This world is awful rough and we gotta make it tough
And real stie, but baby real stie
Beware the subtle danger of money hungry strangers
I grew up into a tough parent gal
Daddy seemed much older than his years would ever tell
Still he made me promise him to practice every day
Those two great words of wisdom that he would always say
Beastie, but baby beastie
This world is awful rough and we gotta make it tough
And real stie, but baby real stie
Beware the subtle danger of money hungry strangers
Seems I'm getting older, got a job all of my own
The record company labels here are all I'll ever know
The work I do is honest stuff as Daddy always knew
I'm making money being a hip man
Cutting vinyl too
Beastie, but baby beastie
This world is awful rough and we gotta make it tough
And real stie, but baby real stie
Beware the subtle danger of money hungry strangers
