Joe Purdy Put Me In My Place Lyrics

He was just a child.
When she,
Left him there alone.
He was just too wild.
She was just too young.
Too much too handle.
He was always asking why.
She didn't know the answers.
She'd just hang her head and cry.

He said,
Momma im afraid that,
No one can calm me down.
And im just scared that,
No one will know how.
To put me in my place.
To put me in my place.
To put me in my place.
To put me in my place.
Where do i belong?

Father never forgave him.
For making momma leave.
You can up and die boy.
It wouldn't bother me.
Sent him off to school.
Somewhere up north.
Way too many rules to fllow.
He didn't have a choice.
No.

Please,
Im so afraid that, no one can calm me down.
Im just scared that,
No one will know how.
To put me in my place.
Oh, to put me in my place.
To put me in my place.
To put me in my place.
Where do i belong?
(to put me in my place)
Where do i belong?
(to put me in my place) Where do i belong?
(to put me in my place)
Where do i belong?
To put me in my place.

Now he's all grown up.
Got a wife of his own.
Boy's started a family now.
He's never home.
She says,
How am i supposed to love you?
Your always out on the town.
How's your daughter gonna know you?
When you won't come around.

He goes to tuck her in.
The girl he never see's.
And she turns to him.
Thought it was only me.
He never sleeps.
Sleeps.
She says,
Dad im so afraid that,
No one can calm me down.
Said, baby i can't believe that.
I think we've finaly found our ground.
Put me in my place.
Oh, put me in my place.
Oh, i think she just put me in my place.
Oh, put me in my place.
Where we belong.
(put me in my place)
Where we belong.
(put me in my place)
Where we belong.
(put me in my place)
Where we belong.
(put me in my place)
Where i belong.
Put me in my place.
