I walk with keys, They're not for me Holding on to Mother's dreams and Daddy's history I walk with hands They aren't like yours They aren't like yours I'd never tell I'd never tell And in the silence of my truths I admit to
Feeling so unprotected Dealing with roots that I've rejected Two feet on different floors Never anyone to tell secrets to I'm only half connected Waiting for the other shoe to fall down You look so unaffected Dancing in your pretty pretty dress, like, oohhhh
Don't send me postcards Where my blood runs so thick This land is your land This land is mine - All I need is a paper to do the trick Daddy bussed your table Momma tucked your kids in bed So I could live a better hell I'd never tell I'd never tell And in my silence I am free of Country I'm feeling
Feeling so unprotected Dealing with roots that I've rejected Two feet on different floors Never anyone to tell secrets to I'm only half connected Waiting for the other shoe to fall down You look so unaffected Dancing in your pretty pretty dress, like, oohhhh
I'd never tell I'd never tell it's not like you knew me well I'd never tell I'd never tell It's not like it would do you good walking around with a hood on with people out there calling themselves God
So pretty, so nice Living here comes with a price(tag) And in the silence of my truths I admit to
