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
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
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
