Lyrics

My name is Cora Lee I just turned twelve years old There's something wrong with me That's what the doctor told my mama On the rainy Kansas night when I was born My mama cursed the doctor And the doctor cursed the storm And my daddy took the bus to Arkansas One way from Wichita I may not know too much I may not be too smart There may be something wrong With my head, but not my heart I got a little sister She's not dumb like me And I don't want her seeing things She don't need to see Like some of the things I saw They night in Wichita Na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na na na na My mama sleeps a lot She leaves the TV on You bring some groceries by And take anything you want You took it from my mama Now you're taking it from me But you touch my little sister, mister Then you're gonna see There's worse things than running from the law Here in Wichita I could've called the cops And told 'em what you did But who's gonna listen to A story from a stupid kid Mama always told me If you want something done You do it for yourself And so I loaded up her gun And I was steady on the draw That night in Wichita Yeah, I hope I was the last thing that you saw That night in Wichita Na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na na na na
