Couldn't have been
but a hundred pounds
Soakin' wet
All stressed out and worried
Podunk Missouri
And I don't know
how or why or when
Her daddy left
But he drove off in a fury
She grew up in a hurry
Now skinny jeans and Maybelline
Make pretty girls do crazy things
Teenage tears and bathroom mirrors
Will stick with yo
u throughout your years
Trust me it's so so ugly
Picket fence two car garage
The man that she don't love
But he makes six figures
She thought he'd fix her
But that iron gate
feels more and more
Like an old bird cage than a way
To keep her out of danger
So she takes to liquor
Nor the champagne brunches
and upper class shine
Can't keep a woman satisfied
Swimming pools and bows and braids
And the baby thinks
her mom's a live-in maid
If you ask me it's so so ugly
So give me a rusty old grain silo
Give me good food
that sticks to my bones
Thank you for that good good man
who loves me
With dirt on my hands and
scrapes on my knees
The feeling at night
when I wash it all clean
I'm telling you girls
it's a beautiful thing
Trust me it's far from ugly
Eighteen wheels and an open road
I sing my songs all
across the country
Cause these people trust me
So give me
So give me a rusty old grain silo
Give me good food
that sticks to my bones
Thank you for that good good man
who loves me
With dirt on my hands
and scrapes on my knees
The feeling at night
when I wash it all clean
I'm telling you girls
it's a beautiful thing
Trust me please trust me
It's far from ugly
