Bad Seed Lyrics

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 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
Hear tell there's fertile land white pearly silver sand
And bad seed won't grow just anywhere
So honey kiss goodbye...
Hmm let me tell you honey I'm the bad seed

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
