They say little girls fall in love with their fathers;Well, my daddy was a carnie with a traveling show.Sideshow prince, the king of the midway --My mama was a one-night stand in Idaho.Mama did her best with what my daddy gave her,Taught me right from wrong and told me to behave.I tried to be good, but my best couldn't save her,And I hit the road while Mama was still warm in her grave. A ticket to the freakshow if you please, I've gone and caught my heritage just like a disease. There's no vaccination for what's bred in the bone. The angels take the good, the devil takes his own.They say little girls are all sugar and sunshine;Well, I was made of ticket stubs and carnival glass.Play to win, follow the lady --A dollar and a quarter for an all-night pass.I struck out to the west without a glance behind me,Nothing in my pocket but a hand and a prayer.The shadows crashed down so the light couldn't find me;No one ever promised me that life would be fair. A ticket to the freakshow if you please,Letras de canciones I've gone and caught my heritage just like a disease. There's no vaccination for what's bred in the bone. The angels take the good, the devil takes his own.They say little girls should be seen and be silent;Well, I was screaming loud enough to turn back the wind.Miles to go, no rest for the wicked --I guess I'm just my daddy's daughter in the end.Mama's just a phantom on the midnight midway,Daddy works the ticket booth while I work the crowd.You can't change your nature -- I learned that the hard way.So I'll follow the lady 'til I make Daddy proud. A ticket to the freakshow if you please, I've gone and caught my heritage just like a disease. There's no vaccination for what's bred in the bone. The angels take the good, the devil takes his own.They say little girls fall in love with their fathers;Well, my daddy was a carnie with a traveling show.Sideshow prince, the king of the midway --My mama was a one-night stand in Idaho.Written on: 2007-05-22.
