Lady in Waiting

I was born down river
Walk a mile for water
Shoes torn and tattered
Heart filled with sand
I'm a natural beauty
With ten tons of worry
Stubborn as an ox
Strong as any man
Ain't nothing complicated
Like the soul of a lady
I slow dance for pennies
Deep in the city
Married the first boy
Who ever tried to kiss me
Our honeymoon night
I got two black eyes
His baby's in my belly
His curse is my life
Ain't nothing complicated
Like the soul of my baby
Where do shooting stars go when they wanna die
How many tears must a sister cry
Lady in waiting
Lady in waiting
They say it's a man's world
It's just a game that their playing
Lady in waiting
Lady in waiting
Why must I always be
A lady in waiting
Our big day's tomorrow
In footsteps we follow
Doing it for love
Doing it for war
I'm just like my sisters
Braver than ever
A match made in heaven will settle all scores
Ain't nothing complicated
Like a soul of a lady
Where do shooting stars go when they wanna die
How many tears must a sister cry
Lady in waiting
Lady in waiting
They say it's a man's world
It's just a game that their playing
Lady in waiting
Lady in waiting
Why must I always be
A lady in waiting
Ain't nothing complicated
Like the soul of a lady
Ain't nothing complicated
Like the soul soul soul of a lady
Lady in waiting
Lady in waiting
They say it's a man's world
It's just a game that their playing
Lady in waiting
Lady in waiting
Why must I always be
A lady in waiting
My daughter is gonna be
A lady in waiting
Some are so proud to be
A lady in waiting
Who am I gonna be
A lady in waiting
