Second Time Around

Second time around you know it's really got me down

Sister, don't you judge it, keep it to yourself now

If you ain't got nothin' good to say, don't say nothin' at all

Got bitten by the bitter bug and

I just can't get enough

Ill will and my own concedin', weary of the world it seems

I'm weary of the world, weary of the world it seems

Sort of always come my way

I'm just a little bit off these days

Like the hard knocks saw in my life like

I'm a Bible belt wife

Like I didn't see it comin', like

I didn't walk in and leave

See I never wanna sing again, la, la, la, like a butterfly

Out my wits about me, out my heart in line

Third time's a charm, this is mine

You said you heard

Loretta sing

And you felt the loneliness seepin' in

Cowboys made you uneasy you're a god-fearin' lesbian

So you learn not to yearn and you take it on the chin again

Here's what

I find about compromise, don't do it if it hurts inside'

Cause either way you're screwed

Eventually you'll find that you may as well feel good

You may as well have some pride

Come August we'll go to

Cherokee and hear

Loretta do her thing

Pack it into the

Indian casino and make the hillbilly scene

Kick up our heels and join in

Are you my ally or my enemy?

Do you have self-loathin' or empathy?

Can you keep me in your prayers?

Sister, can you keep me in there somewhere?

And sister, if you ain't got nothin' good to say

Don't say nothin' at all
