steel magnolia

songwriter: lora kelley

i was raised ‘neath a wide texas sky
in a town i’d rather have left behind
between old rice fields and a west bound train
where no one even knew how to say may name

when i was just 16 he tried to pick me up
in the back of his daddy’s old beat up truck
but i squeezed my knees said no with my eyes
i guess no isn’t no unless you say it just right

i went running so fast
i got lost in the night
headlights coming quickly
he was close behind
trailing me down
screaming my name
you might catch me boy, but i don’t own you a thing

i’m a steel magnolia
guess i shoulda told ya
ain’t no one gonna cut me down
i got my roots in holy ground
well i got out of that town with three strikes to my name
every girl that i knew, yeah their story’s the same
from color of our skin or the shape of our eyes
we’re all carved with marks and scars and lies

now that i’m grown with gotta girl of my own
dancing to the beat of her own little drum
when they come for you
stand up straight
look em in the eyes and
here’s what you say

i’m a steel magnolia
guess i shoulda told ya
ain’t no one gonna cut me down
i got my roots in holy ground

i don’t have to take it
sure ain’t gonna fake it
don’t you come for me
you never change your ways
and no one puts a steel magnolia in her place

every label you gave me
that were mean to tame me
you can keep em
light em aflame
i write my own glorious name
i’m a steel magnolia
guess i shoulda told ya
ain’t no one gonna cut me down
i got my roots in holy ground

i don’t have to take it
sure ain’t gonna fake it
don’t you come for me
you never change your ways
and no one puts a steel magnolia in her place
