Anthem

Anthem
I’m old and bitter
But, I’ll be just fine
Wake up tomorrow
Race against time
Better than some
Worser than most
Now, lift up your glasses
Give this ole girl a toast

Cause I’m givin up
Raise the white towel
Got nuthin to loose now
I’m gonna howl
To the moon, and my exes,
Old bosses, and such
To Jesus, my daughter,
It don’t matter much
Cause I’m done competin
I’m finished with livin
At odds with my skin, thighs,
Butt, and other women
One less in the race
Just an easy, lovin place
To sit down
Oh… To sit down
Now girls I implore you
When you’re feelin most raw
Look hard in the mirror
For that unchangeable flaw
That starving, nor cuttin, nor shootin won’t fix
That’s sure to endure you to smoking hot chicks
Take it in, embrace it
Make the thing your best friend
Let it beat you and break you
Force you to bend
Let it open your hearts
Your doublewide doors
To mint julieps out on the dock
With your girlfriends and more

To pound cake and secrets
Moonshine and sweet tea
To best buddies, true love,
And laughin till you pee
To freedom and ease
Till there’s nothin between
You and me
I’m old and bitter
And glad to be here
I’m just sorry it took me
So many damn years
Grandma told me; but I didn’t listen a bit
She said, “Darlin, real livin begins when you quit.”
So, let’s all give up
Raise the white towel
Got nothing to loose now
We’re gonna howl
To the moon, to our exes,
Old bosses and such
To Jesus, our daughter
It don’t matter much
Cause we’re done competin
We’re finished with livin
At odds with our skin, thighs,
Butts, and other women
One less in the race
Just an easy, lovin place to sit down
Yeah… To sit down
