Opening Lyric | Song |
Any man of mine better be proud of me, even when I'm ugly he still better love me. | |
Let the light shine, on my Mama, she's been worried about me and I can tell she's tired. | |
Goodbye, Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all you had the grace to hold yourself, while those around you crawl. | |
Way beyond the city lights, lies a cowboy's paradise, honeysuckle on the vine, growing up on southern time | |
I've been telling my dreams to a scarecrow, about the places that I'd like to see. I said 'friend do you think I'll ever get there?' ah but he just stands there smiling back at me. | |
It's about 1500 miles to California, they'll get there Friday if they leave tonight. | |
If I die young, bury me in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses, sink me in the river, at dawn, send me away with the words of a love song. | |
I'm flat on the floor with my head down low, where the sky can't rain on me anymore. Don't knock on my door 'cause I won't come, I'm hiding from the storm till the damage gets done | |
You pull up in that jacked up ride, open the door on the passenger side, there's a lot of girls who'd want to climb inside but I'm not one of them. | |
You can spend your whole life building, something from nothing. One storm can come and blow it all away. | |
Brothers in the backyard playing in the dirt, Mama's in the kitchen in an old T-shirt. Daddy's diesel coming up the street, and she's in her bedroom growing her wings. | |
People say, I have a laugh, like my mother does. Guess that makes sense, she taught me how to smile, when things get rough. | |
You used to want me, but I didn't want you. And now I want you oh, but you don't want me yeah. | |
| Opening Lyric | Song |
Please baby can't you see, my mind's a burning flame, I got razors a rippin' and tearin' and strippin', my heart is getting played. | |
Back in '41, you met a brown eyed boy, who called you pretty. | |
I can almost see it, that dream I'm dreaming, but there's a voice inside my head saying, you'll never reach it. | |
I get this feeling every year, the first days of winter. | |
I got a little picture, painted in my mind, of that special, not so perfect guy my heart wants me to find. | |
She was the kinda girl who never quite fit in, holes in her shoes and freckles on her skin. | |
If you're looking for trouble, you came to the right place. If you're lookin' for trouble, just take a look at my face. | |
Picked a wildflower off the side of the road, and put in my hair. Two bare feet up on the dashboard, hands are waving through the summer air. | |
Oh, my love, my darling, I've hungered for your touch alone, lonely time. | |
Wanting you the way I do, I only want to be with you. And I would go to the end of the Earth 'cause darling, to me that's what your worth. | |
Set me free why don't you babe, get out my life why don't you baby. Cause you don't really love me, you just keep me hangin on. | |
Lookin out on the mornin rain, I used to feel so uninspired. | |
