Home for Pete's Sake Songtext
von 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
