Oh, it was just a few years ago
when I was a little girl
it seems, I was learnin’ to play guitar
and still singing out of key.
I was oblivious to the rest of the world
and what they had to offer me.
I’d get sucked right into the “popular people pit”
then get thrown right out of it.

Chorus:
But not anymore, ‘cuz I have found myself.
No not anymore, ‘cuz I know who I am.
Not anymore, ‘cuz I am free.
No not anymore, ‘cuz they’re not foolin’ me!

Growin’ up in a small town it was hard
for me to see how my world goes around.
I knew there was more than this place,
so much more than the same old faces.
I was getting tired of the same routine,
I’d go to school and I just wouldn’t be me.

Chorus

Well once I stepped out, I stepped out of that hole
I went out to understand my world.
I did research on how things came to be
and I tried to understand democracy,
Still don’t make no sense to me.
‘Cuz the government seems much like my town
with all their lies and cheatin’ floatin’ around.
‘Cuz they are fighting wars in the name of God
and they are feeding us lies and false, false thoughts.

Chorus
