Lady in Waiting Lyrics

I was born down river

Walk a mile for water 


Shoes torn and tattered

Heart filled with sand 



I'm a natural beauty

With ten tons of worry 


Stubborn as an ox

Strong as any man

Ain't nothing complicated

Like the soul of a lady

I slow dance for pennies

Deep in the city


Married the first boy

Who ever tried to kiss me 


Our honeymoon night

I got two black eyes


His baby's in my belly

His curse is my life

Ain't nothing complicated

Like the soul of my baby


Where do shooting stars go when they wanna die 


How many tears must a sister cry 



Lady in waiting 


Lady in waiting


They say it's a man's world 


It's just a game that they're playing


Lady in waiting 


Lady in waiting


Why must I always be

A lady in waiting

Our big day's tomorrow

In footsteps we follow 


Doing it for love

Doing it for war



I'm just like my sisters

Braver than ever


A match made in heaven

Will settle all scores 


Ain't nothing complicated

Like a soul of a lady 


Where do shooting stars go when they wanna die 


How many tears must a sister cry 



Lady in waiting 


Lady in waiting


They say it's a man's world 


It's just a game that they're playing


Lady in waiting 


Lady in waiting


Why must I always be

A lady in waiting

Ain't nothing complicated

Like the soul of a lady 


Ain't nothing complicated

Like the soul soul soul of a lady



Lady in waiting 


Lady in waiting


They say it's a man's world 


It's just a game they're playing


Lady in waiting 


Lady in waiting


Why must I always be

Lady in waiting


My daughter is gonna be

Lady in waiting


Some are so proud to be

Lady in waiting


Who am I gonna be

Lady in waiting
