You want me to tell my story
The story that'll never be accurately told by you
The story that I have to live and die with

I am an old country girl
Who rose above all odds
The chances of me leaving town
Was slim to none

My drive to leave and become someone
Is why I'm able to tell my story
Pushing my way forward
Is why I'm able to tell my story
My support system
Is why I'm able to tell my story

I was raised in a small town
My mom was all I had
I was the reason of her drive to success
Now it's my turn to return it

My story I want to tell my kids
Is that Mommy finished college
I had my ups and downs
I never gave up though
I was in need of financial help
But I made it
And my story still haven't ended

I am still paying back school loans
I am still strong
I made sure that my family is out of poverty
I made sure that I didn't struggle
Pay check to pay check that is
My story is still being written
But who are you to write it?
