Home for Pete's Sake

Home for Pete's Sake - Dolly Parton

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
