Some People's Kids - Reckless Kelly

Her daddy told her all the facts

His mama taught him how to act

At puberty they paid their dues

The pool hall was the Moulin Rouge

And he likes her skirt

And she like his tight levi’s

Fannin' flames of the fire

That burned higher than the fire in their eyes

Mama’s downtown on her lips

Daddy’s on a business trip

A pinch from Mama’s treasure chest

Daddy comes up with the rest

And some people’s kids don’t know how fast time flies

Now they’re payin' for the fire burnin' higher than the fire in their eyes

Some people’s kids can’t see

All some people’s kids really need

Is someone to be there

To love 'em and to care, about them

Daddy was a rollin' stone

Mama chose to live alone

Susie’s out there on the wine

Jimmy was friend of mine

And some people’s kids gotta sing so it’s no surprise

That the flame of the fire’s burnin' higher than the fire in their eyes
