Lyrics
Homegrown she's her daddy's own
Mamma's gone and he won't leave her alone
Mind's soft but the body toned
Outside a complete unknown
She plays along 'til she finds the gun
And so he doesn't beat her
Should she decide to try to run and hide
Then he'll refuse to feed her
One day she's gonna blow him away
Run off and join the circus
And be a snake eater
