Give me a banner and a rhinestone crown
I can be the queen of this one horse town... Give me a banner and a rhinestone crown Do they make a size twelve in a sequined gown I can be the queen of this one horse town But I ain’t no Miss America ‘Cause I talk loud, I stay out late I drink bud light instead of champagne Smoke Marlboros with the home girls No, I ain’t no Miss America Diets feel like murder I take my salad on a bacon cheeseburger As for world peace, that ain’t reality No, I ain’t no Miss America But... Give me a banner and a rhinestone crown Do they make a size twelve in a sequined gown I can be the queen of this one horse town But I ain’t no Miss America No I ain’t no Miss America I don’t like high heels Imagine how it feels Wearing a bikini on a runway Having people stare, there I like my old boots Straight A’s in beauty school And that’s my bowling trophy Sitting on the mantle there No, I ain’t no Miss America But I got poise, I got grace Just ask the boys down at the drag race Give me a... Give me a... Give me a banner and a rhinestone crown Do they make a size twelve in a sequined gown I can be the queen of this one horse town But I ain’t no Miss America I ain’t no Miss America No I ain’t no Miss America |

| 2. | Just Like A Man | Just Like A Man
He stuffs three loads in the washing machine
Then exits the scene And thinks he’s helping me Them clothes ain’t gonna get clean It’s my biggest pet peeve He’s looking for the keys to his truck He huffs and he puffs Digs through all my stuff He says I must have picked them up Now why would I pick them up Blame it all on a woman... (Chorus) Ain’t that just like a man Makes you want to kill him Then turn around and kiss him ‘Til you’re putty in his hands If it don’t include sex or food Then he don’t give a damn Tell me ain’t that just like a man... Now I know I can get in my moods I buy too many shoes Change my point of view Do things that keep him confused Lord that’s easy to do But he drives me crazy, naughty and nice For all he does wrong He sure does some things right And if I’m lucky sometimes He’ll do ‘em twice Makes me glad I’m a woman... (Repeat Chorus) -Tag- If it don’t include sex or food, power tools Sports and news or girls with boobs on the tube Then he don’t give a damn No he don’t understand Tell me ain’t that just like a man Oh tell me ain’t that just like a man |

| 3. | Why They Call It Falling | Why They Call It Falling
It’s like jumping, it’s like leaping
It’s like walking on the ceiling It’s like floating, it’s like flying through the air It’s like soaring, it’s like gliding It’s a rocket ship you’re riding It’s a feeling that can take you anywhere Chorus So why they call it falling Why they call it falling Why they call it falling I don’t know.... There was passion, there was laughter The first morning after I just couldn’t get my feet to touch the ground Every time we were together, we talked about forever I was certain it was heaven we had found Repeat chorus But you can’t live your life Walking in the clouds Sooner or later you have to come down It’s like a knife through the heart When it all comes apart It’s like someone takes a pin to your balloon Its’ a hole, it’s a cave It’s kind of like a grave When he tells you that he’s found somebody new And why they call it falling Why they call it falling Why they call it falling Now I know.... |

| 4. | A Man Like Bugs | A Man Like Bugs
Well some will say I’ve lost my sanity
Cause I just saw the perfect man The perfect one for me... (CHORUS) I want a man like Bugs Bunny A cute tail and a whole lot of money Anything I’d want he could buy it I could live on a high carrot diet He’d make my heart go hippety hop He’d get me rocking I’d say Don’t stop doc Smother me in kisses and hugs I want a man like Bugs... I’m disgusted with the smoke and hype Of doctor’s, lawyers and the cowboy type They tell me leave behind your school girl dreams But I’m not ready for reality Hey I’m not looking for the Duke of Earl But since I’m already living in a fantasy world (CHORUS) I want a man like Bugs Bunny A cute tail and a whole lot of money Anything I’d want he could buy it I could live on a high carrot diet He’d make my heart go hippety hop He’d get me rocking I’d say What’s up doc Smother me in kisses and hugs I want a man like Bugs... |

If you want to know me And I mean really know me I’m really not a mystery I am a romantic Thought some don’t understand it So often I am called naive (Chorus) I’m the one who lives in sand castles And I weep when the waves come crashing in I’m the one who curses the moon that brings the tide But I love the place I live So I grab my pail and build it back again I put up walls around me When I thought the tears would drown me But that didn’t make much sense ‘Cause I couldn’t see the ocean With all it’s beautiful commotion So I taught myself to swim (Repeat chorus) I could live in concrete Like so many do And I wouldn’t have the heartache But I wouldn’t have the view (Repeat chorus) |

How can you be so naive That wasn’t just a touch on your sleeve Her hand kinda lingered a little too long Relax, you didn’t do anything wrong But when you introduced her to me She ignored me deliberately She interrupted every time I spoke Laughed a little too hard at your jokes She wants you, I can sense it Trust me, women know women Chorus: It’s a look, it’s a sway It’s an “oh you’re looking good, you been lifting weights” It’s a tone, it’s a sigh It’s the subtle body language, it’s a vibe That sets off our intuition Trust me, women know women You tell me you and she are friends Well, she’s walking over here again Watch real close she’ll twirl her hair Ten bucks says she bumps your chair She wants you, I can sense it Trust me, women know women Repeat chorus Bridge: Don’t roll your eyes and chalk this up to jealousy How do you think that I got you to notice me Outtro Chorus: It’s an act, it’s a game It’s the way she keeps conveniently forgetting my name It’s a wink, it’s a shake It’s a little too obvious double take It’s a tone, it’s a sigh It’s the subtle body language, it’s a vibe That’s right Yeah, yeah, women know women |

| 7. | If I Had A Daughter | If I Had A Daughter
If I had a daughter
I’d teach her how to fight How to raise her voice Once she makes a choice Standing up for what feels right If I had a daughter I’d teach her how to love But how to play it smart When dealing with her heart ‘Cause sometimes nothing is enough (Chorus) She probably wouldn’t listen anyway She’s probably roll her eyes and walk away I guess that’s just what daughters do I know that’s what I did to you If I had a daughter I’d share that recipe The one we learned to make On that September day When we finally made our peace (Chorus) She probably wouldn’t use it right away ‘Til she was older and appreciates All the things that mothers do I know that’s what I did to you If I had a daughter I’d give her your name And love her like she is Just like my mama did And hope she one day does the same |

| 8. | Remind Me | Remind Me
If I should ever mention his name
If I should try to steer the conversation his way If I ever say he’s not to blame Remind me And when time goes by and I think it might be safe to call When I dial that number knowing I’ve had too much alcohol And when I tell you he can’t hurt me at all Remind me (Chorus) Remind me that it’s over and I should just move on Stop me when I can’t admit them days are dead and gone It’s just a force of habit Like these damned ol’ cigarettes that I can’t kick So when I think of us together Remind me to remember to forget Tell me how much better off you know I am Over and over like a broken record ‘Til I finally understand That I don’t need that kind of man Please remind me (Chorus) Remind me that it’s over and I should just move on Stop me when I can’t admit them days are dead and gone It’s just a force of habit Like the way I reach across the bed to see if he’s home yet So when I think of us together Remind me to remember to forget -Music Break- Oh he’s just a force of habit Like these damned ol’ cigarettes that I just can’t kick Don’t want to feel this way forever So remind me to remember to forget |

I loved a boy
When I was young Silver Words Rolled off his tongue Ah but in the end he left me there in tears So I don’t believe everything I hear There was a girl In my hometown They called her bad They ran her down But she’s been a friend to me through all these years ‘Cause I don’t believe everything I hear (Chorus) People talk And people judge And words have wounded all of us But sometimes things aren’t quite as they appear We criticize what we don’t know There’s more to every story so I don’t believe everything I hear Well I’ve heard it said Our time is up That God is dead And so is love Oh but I know faith will always conquer fear So I don’t believe everything I hear (Repeat Chorus) |

Breaking News from a desert town
Smoke and rubble on the ground The names we do not know right now And it cuts me like a knife With a tearful goodbye kiss I sent him off to this But I've gotta stay strong for our kids I'm a soldier's wife I run the house I sleep alone I live for e-mails And the phone calls home I tell my children he will be all right And I hope it's not a lie I'm a soldier's wife We do the things we used to do Go to church, go to school But you could drive a truck right through The hole that's in our lives My little boy shoots me a grin And says he wants to be like him And I feel my heart start caving in I'm a soldier's wife Sometimes I'm angry Sometimes confused I live and die by The evening news But I tell my babies he will be all right And I hope it's not a lie I'm a soldier's wife I pray for strength I pray for peace I pray that he comes home to me And if you would please pray for me I'm a soldier's wife. |
