Jewel - Stephenville, TX lyrics
Housewives told to recapture their youth By wearing floral print and suede Fixing their hairdos with PC, chemical-free hairspray Martha Stewart taught 'em to make on TV I was raised a farmgirl Now, I'm too far from home, all alone on the road Trying to figure out who I am now that the stardust has turned to sand And the sand has turned to stone - I'm the starmaking machine I'm 31 years old, that ain't the end But sure ain't where I began My daddy, he wrote songs and he broke colts And went back to school to get a degree Now he teaches music to kids, he taught music to me And this Alaskan girl has been livin' in Stephenville, Texas that is And yes, you guessed it; I moved there 'cause I fell in love with a man I moved his ex-old lady's things out of the closet The same closet I moved my things back in No, it did not make me feel that great, as if to demonstrate Everything's temporary if you give it enough time I'm 31 years old that ain't the end Sure ain't where I began But hey, I'm just a kid; I got nothing to lose I'm a singer of songs, I'm a player for crowds Hey Ma, look, I'm an entertainer I'm a modern day troubadour trying to find justice with six strings Trying to make the world make sense out of me Trying to be loved completely, trying to love honestly Trying to find a decent high noon cup of tea In another hotel I'm trying to listen to the leaves speak Trying to steal cigarettes from fishes in the creek Trying to figure out who I am A pretty mediocre cook and even worse mathematician Maybe a mother one day What will it be? I'm trying to figure out who I am But there's no hand to hold, no Doctor Martin Luther King Just sycophants and mindlessness on TV We all read magazines for the latest ways to behave So hey, why not follow me, the blond bombshell deity? I'll sell you neat ideas without big words And a little bit of cleavage to wash it all down You know everybody thought Godard was a clown Man, that ain't gonna be me I'm 31 years old, that ain't the end Sure ain't where I began Guess that just makes it Stephenville, Texas |
