Woman of Many Colors |
I’ve been around this country in a wagon of Indian quilts |
I’ve met the ones who’ve claimed it and I’ve met the ones who’ve built |
Of the ones I’ve met I loved many |
Of the ones I loved, I knew few |
They’d always know I’d be leaving; |
sooner or later they’d be too |
I’m a woman of many colors, yes my mind is never made |
So I’ll travel this land like a canvas until I’m out of paint |
I’ve worn out my welcome so I’ll leave before the dawn |
If there’s one thing this country taught me, it’s to leave before you’re gone |
Of the ones I’ve left, I’ve mourned many |
And of the ones I’ve mourned I call two |
They’d always know I’d break their hearts before they broke my blues |
I’m a woman of many virtues, if you’d only let me grow |
But my spirits been broken in so many ways, my seed you must learn to sew |
I know this town like I built it |
I know which roads will lead to where |
And I’ll stay and visit as long as these roads know how to take me somewhere |
Of the places I’ve been I’ve kept many in mind, and I’ve dreamed them all the |
same |
Of the ones I’ve dreamed, there’s only one place that gave me my name |
I’m a woman of many stories, if you’ll listen I’ll tell you one |
I’ve called many places my home little darlin,' but I only come from one |
