Clothes shootin’ don’t kill no birds

I’m standin’ tall with the rest of the girls

Hangin’ on, to my mama’s every word

Gonna’ sing ‘em out loud and conquer the world

All them faces on the pictures up there

Livin’, at my mama’s house

Takin’ food, from my family’s mouth...before the money came

I was singing R’n’D# back in ‘62

Before you were born and your mama too

Sleeping on my floor before he crossed over

Record deals kept falling apart

One with Atlantic nearly broke my heart...before the money came

B
Oh, there was a time when I would call it luck

If I got me a gig for fifty bucks

Never thought success would be hard to take

Shoes on my feet, more in the closet

Silk on my skin, more if I want it

All these years I kept my style
A E7
I wouldn’t cross over, so it took me a while...before the money came
[Bridge]
