Jewel - Stephenville, TX Lyrics
Housewives told to recapture their youthBy wearing floral print and suedeFixing their hairdos with PC, chemical-free hairsprayMartha Stewart taught them to make on TVI was raised a farmgirlI'm too far from home, all alone on the roadTrying to figure out who I am now the the stardust has turned to sandAnd the sand has turned to stone on the starmaking machineI'm 31 years oldThat ain't the end but it sure ain't where I beganAnd my daddy, he wrote songs and he broke coltsAnd he went back to school to get a degreeNow he teaches music to kids, he taught music to meAnd this Alaskan girl was living in Stephenville, TexasYes, you guessed it, I moved here because I fell in love with a manAnd I moved his ex-old lady's things out of the closetThe same closet I had to move my things back inIt didn't make me feel that great, as if to demonstrateEverything's temporary if you give it enough timeBut hey, I'm just a kid, I've got nothing to loseI'm a singer of songs, I'm a player for crowdsHey Mom, look, I'm an entertainerI'm a modern day troubadour trying to find justice with six stringsTrying to make the world make sense out of meTrying to be loved completely, trying to love honestlyTrying to find a decent high noon cup of teaIn another shitty hotelI'm trying to listen to the leaves speakTrying to steal secrets from fishes in the creekTrying to figure out who I amA pretty mediocre cook, an even worse mathematician, maybe a mother one dayWhat will it be?And I'm 31 years oldThat ain't the end but it sure ain't where I beganI'm trying to figure out who I amBut there's no hand to hold, no Doctor Martin Luther KingThere's just syncophantsAnd the mindlessness on TVWe all read magazines for the latest ways to behaveSo why not follow me, the blond bombshell deity?I'll sell you neat ideas without big wordsAnd a little bit of cleavage to help wash it all downHey, everybody thought Godard was a clownAnd that ain't gonna be meAnd I'm 31 years oldThat ain't the end but it sure ain't where I beganAnd I'm 31 years oldThat ain't the end but it sure ain't where I beganGuess that just means I'm in Texas.
