Mind Your P's and Q's

Well my mama raised me to be a lady,
To always smile and wave.
But today I say no more!
Cause I'm done.
Stand up straight and paint you face.
My mamas famous words.
I'm not puttin' up with this.
Cause I'm done.
Cross your legs and shoulders back.
Always look your Sunday best.
I don't wanna be a lady,
Cause I'm done.
Mind your P's an Q's,
Never curse and swear.
I'm gunna get outa' here,
Cause I'm done.
You'll never find a husband,
With your muddy boots and face.
I won't be here much longer,
Cause I'm done
Put this on and brush your hair,
The preachers coming over.
I can't do this anymore,
Cause I'm done.
Don't you ever scream or yell -
Well mama,
I got something to say.
Cause I'm done.
Ill grab my shotgun and my rusted pickup truck.
Cause I'm done
I aint your little girl no more.
I won't be shoved or walked all over!
Cause I'm done!
I won't watch you live a lie,
In this silly little town!
Cause I'm done!
I won't be your pawn,
In this game you call life.
Cause I'm done!
I never learned to be alone,
I trick I taught my self.
I never learned what love was,
I figured that my self.
I never had a mother to learn from,
but I guess I'll figure it out along the way...

I wrote this to remind people that you don"t have to be a "Lady" as long as your true to your self. There is so much peer pressure in our society that sometimes you just have to stand up for yourself.
