AMY RAY - SOBER GIRL lyrics

I'm a Sober Girl, not for any good reason

I found myself on this road I'm on

It felt a lot like treason

To my last girlfriends, who could never understand

When it comes to love, I wanted purity.

I felt the loneliness of the world, in the city so I got out of there

I found myself at the end of a long dirt road

It felt a lot like nowhere

To my last girlfriends, who could never understand

When it comes to life, I wanted purity.

When I was young, in every camptown song I sung

I was aching just to be

With someone, who could lay me down where the rivers run

Who was able, who was free.

Free of this manmade world and all the bargains we made with fear

That slowly whittle us down to nothing

It felt a lot like despair

But I found someone, who was still standing when it was done

And with the purest heart, she said these words to me-

When I was young, in every camptown song I sung

I was aching just to be

With someone, who could lay me down where the rivers run.
