-----
I forget how the West was won
I forget if this was ever fun
I just learned these people
only raise you To cage you
Sarahs and Hannahs
in their Sunday best
Clutchin' their pearls,
sighing, "What a mess"
I just learned these people
try and save you
'Cause they hate you
Too high a horse
for a simple girl
To rise above it
They slammed the door
on my whole world
The one thing I wanted
Now I'm runnin'
with my dress unbuttoned
Screamin', "But, Daddy,
I love him
I'm havin' his baby"
No, I'm not, but
you should see your faces
I'm tellin' him to floor
it through the fences
No, I'm not coming
to my senses
I know he's crazy,
but he's the one I want
Dutiful daughter,
all my plans were laid
Tendrils tucked
into a woven braid
Growin' up precocious
sometimes means
Not growin' up at all
He was chaos,
he was revelry
Bedroom eyes
like a remedy
Soon enough,
the elders had convened
Down at the city hall
"Stay away from her"
The saboteurs
protested too much
Lord knows the words
we never heard
Just screeching tires
and true love
And I'm runnin'
with my dress unbuttoned
Screamin', "But, Daddy,
I love him
I'm havin' his baby"
No, I'm not,
but you should
see your faces
I'm tellin' him to floor
it through the fences
No, I'm not coming
to my senses
I know he's crazy,
but he's the one I want
I'll tell you something
right now
I'd rather burn my whole
life down
Than listen to one more
second of all this bitchin'
and moanin'
I'll tell you something
'bout my good name
It's mine alone to disgrace
I don't cater to all these
vipers dressed in
empath's clothing
God save the
most judgmental creeps
Who say they want
what's best for me
Sanctimoniously
performing soliloquies
I'll never see
Thinkin' it can change the beat
Of my heart when he touches me
And counteract the chemistry
And undo the destiny
You ain't gotta pray for me
Me and my wild boy
and all of his wild joy
If all you want is gray for me
Then it's just white noise,
and it's just my choice
There's a lot of people
in town that I
Bestow upon my fakest smiles
Scandal does funny things
to pride, but brings lovers
closer
We came back when the
heat died down
Went to my parents
and they came around
All the wine moms
are still holdin' out,
but fuck 'em, it's over
Now I'm dancin' in my dress
in the sun and
Even my daddy just loves him
I'm his lady
And, oh, my God,
you should see your faces
Time, doesn't it give
some perspective?
And, no, you can't come
to the wedding
I know it's crazy,
but he's the one I want
I'll tell you something
right now
You ain't gotta pray for me
Me and my wild boy
and all of his wild joy
(He was chaos, he was revelry)
If all you want is gray for me
Then it's just white noise,
and it's my choice
Screamin', "But, Daddy,
I love him
I'm having his baby"
No, I'm not
But you should
see your faces
But, oh, my God,
you should see your faces
(He was chaos, he was revelry)
(He was chaos, he was revelry)
