Reba Mcentire - For Herself Lyrics
(shawna harrington-burkhart, liz hengber, reba mcentire)Uncle slim had let her know she couldnt ride that horseHe was the one that was only meant for menShe walked around till way after darkRode that horse with all her heartAnd in the night how she rodeChorus:Somehow she always knew she had the strength insideAnd even if she fell shed surviveIn spite of all the tears she may cryThis is how she has to live her lifeAs hard as it may be, she has to find out for herselfMama and daddy told her from the start he was no goodTheyd seen how he treated the other girlsShe waited around till the sun went downSlipped out of the house not makin a soundAnd in the night oh how they droveRepeat chorus:It was fifteen years to the day he became a stranger in her eyesIn the coldest words of angerHe said without me you wont surviveTheres a suitcase in the closet she had packed six months agoShe dont leave a note thats not her styleSo she waited around till way after darkLeft that man who broke her heartNow shes gone, oh shes goneRepeat chorus:
