lyrics
once in the springtime, two lovers invited a child into the world
she was a bald blue-eyed baby, they knew they had lost their heart
to that girl
then in the winter, the lovers discovered their hearts were not meant to be
leaving that bald blue-eyed baby to wonder the likes of which parent
she'd be
would she adopt the conservative notions her daddy held to so fast?
attending chapel and reading the bible just wouldn't seem to last
so, she adopted his charm, his charisma, the sparkle in his own blue eyes
because of the lessons that her daddy taught her, she'd always stand up for her rights
her momma was left to discover herself at the young age of twenty two
it made her susceptible to men who used her, and often made her feel blue
so that girl watched as her momma fought tooth and nail for their stability
now she realizes she'll be a strong woman
from watching her momma get free
now that blue eyed baby stands here before you at the age of twenty two
holding a guitar and singing a song about what
this strong woman will do
i am the daughter of those two young lovers whose fates were not meant to be
i will remember the stories they told me
and carry them with me
