My daddy went to jail
He broke my mama’s heart
When he got back he said we’ll never be apart
Let’s find some place
Let’s go and make some cash
So we loaded up the truck with all our poor white trash
Yeah yeah yeah be careful what you wish for
Yeah yeah yeah be careful what you wish for
We came to a crossroads
Mama said - which way?
And I pointed to up Memphis and daddy said ok
So we rolled into town
Expecting more of the same
And down through the boulevard that would carry my name
Yeah yeah yeah be careful what you wish for
Yeah yeah yeah be careful what you wish for
I found my voice and I was in demand
Nobody knew what was going on
But the little girls seemed to understand
Somebody took care of business
I did it - everything he said
I got rich and I one day I woke up
And baby I was dead
Yeah yeah yeah be careful what you wish for
Yeah yeah yeah be careful what you wish for
