Apples Don't Fall from the Tree

It is not "Rootbeers Place" it is "Ruby's Place" as with the first verse of the song (likely some sort of brothel her mom worked in).

A woman recounts her childhood growing up as a young girl in Ruby's Place (a brothel her mom worked in). The men would make suggestive remarks alluding to her potential to grow up and be a whore too like her mother ("Apples don't fall far from the tree"). It is kinda predatory when they say to a child in a sexual way "Hey hunny, come sit on me knee". It broke her mother's heart to see them sexualize her daughter like that, knowing that she too was setting a bad example. Second verse as a blossoming teenager is how men would compliment her and lavish her with gifts, but all they really wanted was sex in return. Finally, after her mother dies the singer decides to escape her past and reinvent her life. She meets and marries a good man. Her husband and father of her little daughter doesn't know about her growing up around pervy men in a brothel. He is paying a genuine compliment when he says "Apples don't fall far from the tree" and is affectionately saying to his young daugther, "Hey hunny, come sit on my knee."
