The Story-Shawn Colvin[00:00:00]

Well we pounded the pavement between dotted lines[00:00:03]

But we always belonged to the fugitive kind[00:00:07]

We were never the best but we were better than this[00:00:11]

To be made to bow down among princes[00:00:15]

I got thrown around hallways and bedrooms and towns[00:00:18]

And you run from that voice and it drags you around[00:00:22]

It don't matter the ruse or the weapons we choose[00:00:26]

There is only one thing that can free us[00:00:30]

Oh so here I am lion and the lamb[00:00:34]

I was born to be telling this story[00:00:49]

I could only be telling this story[00:00:53]

I will always be telling this story[00:00:56]

Well our father married our mother too young[00:01:05]

And he took on a world like a fortunate son[00:01:09]

But in the cellar downstairs waiting for the bomb scare[00:01:13]

He would hide from us under the kitchen[00:01:17]

Where she simmered so soft with her weapons of tin[00:01:20]

And like so many suppers she just gave us to him[00:01:24]

And he never did guess in her cast iron dress[00:01:28]

She was burning beyond recognition[00:01:32]

Oh it's not over yet oh that I can't forget[00:01:36]

I am going to be telling this story[00:01:51]

I was born to be telling this story[00:01:55]

I will always be telling this story[00:01:58]

Sometimes I feel so reckless and wild[00:02:21]

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child[00:02:25]

I gave nobody life I am nobody's wife[00:02:28]

And I seem to be nobody's daughter[00:02:32]

So red is the color that I like the best[00:02:36]

It's your Indian skin and the badge on my chest[00:02:40]

The heat of my pride and the lips of a bride[00:02:44]

The sad heart of the truth and the flag of youth[00:02:47]

And blood that is thicker than water[00:02:51]

I was made to be telling this story[00:03:03]

I was born to be telling this story[00:03:14]

I am going to be telling this story[00:03:18]

I could only be telling this story[00:03:22]

I will always be telling this story[00:03:25]
