[00:00.10]Stephenville - Jewel
[00:02.90]
[00:04.92]Housewives trying to recapture their youth
[00:10.78]By wearing floral print and suede
[00:15.09]Fixing their hairdos with PC,
[00:21.67]chemical-free hairspray
[00:24.18]Martha Stewart taught them to make on TV
[00:30.08]I was raised a farmgirl
[00:33.51]I'm too far from home, all alone on the road
[00:38.00]Trying to figure out who I am
[00:39.23]now the the stardust has turned to sand
[00:41.46]And the sand has turned to stone
[00:44.35]on the starmaking machine
[00:48.61]
[00:50.54]I'm 25 years old
[00:53.84]That ain't the end but it sure ain't where I began
[00:59.21]And my daddy, he wrote songs and he broke colts
[01:07.89]And he went back to school to get a degree
[01:12.53]Now he teachs music to kids, he taught music to me
[01:19.57]And this Alaskan girl was living in Stephenville,
[01:25.92]Texas that is
[01:27.81]Yes, you guessed it,
[01:29.90]I moved here because I fell in love with a man
[01:34.87]And I moved his ex-old lady's things out of the closet
[01:40.58]The same closet I had to move my things back in
[01:44.29]It didn't make me feel that great, as if to demonstrate
[01:50.91]Everything's temporary given enough time
[01:55.43]
[01:59.33]I'm 25 years old
[02:01.34]That ain't the end but it sure ain't where I began
[02:06.46]
[02:09.70]But hey, I've got nothing to lose
[02:11.66]I'm a singer for crowds, I'm a writer of songs
[02:15.51]Hey Mom, look, I'm an entertainer
[02:23.00]I'm a modern day troubadour trying to
[02:28.61]find justice with six strings
[02:29.94]Trying to make the world make sense out of me
[02:33.70]Trying to be loved completely, trying to love honestly
[02:36.71]Trying to find a decent high noon cup of tea
[02:39.59]In another shitty hotel
[02:45.11]I'm trying to listen to the leaves speak
[02:48.26]Trying to steal secrets from fishes in the creek
[02:50.63]Trying to figure out who I am
[02:52.08]A singer, a pretty bad cook, maybe a good mom one day
[02:58.58]What will it be?
[03:00.57]
[03:03.56]I'm trying to figure out who I am
[03:05.80]But there's no hand to hold, no Doctor Martin Luther King
[03:09.88]There's just syncophants
[03:11.31]And the mindlessness on TV or in the magazines
[03:13.80]On the latest ways to behave
[03:15.57]So why not follow me, the blond bombshell deity?
[03:18.70]I'll sell you neat ideas without big words
[03:21.44]And a little bit of cleavage to help wash it all down
[03:24.70]Hey, everybody thought Godard was a clown
[03:27.54]And that ain't gonna be me
[03:31.30]And I'm 25 years old
[03:34.72]That ain't the end but it sure ain't where I began
[03:41.58]Guess that just means I'm in Texas
[03:48.37]
