Growing Her Wings

Brother's in the backyard diggin' in the dirt

Mama's in the kitchen in an old t-shirt

Daddy's diesel's coming up the street

And she's in her bedroom growing her wings

Ready to Run in her headphones

Pretty in pink on all ten toes

Nose in a Cosmo magazine

All the junk mama says, she's too young to read

Little do they know she's growing her wings

They got her whole life on lockdown

Doing time behind her bedroom door

I guess it's alright for right now

But outside her window there's so much

More room for running and space to discover

A whole wide world to see

She's dreaming about the girl she's gonna be

Stuck in Rice County, growing her wings

The neighbor boy taught her how to French kiss

And daddy's got eyes in the back of his head

He said, no dating 'til you're 18

Now she's in her room grounded, growing her wings

They got her whole life on lockdown

Doing time behind her bedroom door

I guess it's alright for right now

But outside her window there's so much

More room for running and space to discover

A whole wide world to see

She's dreaming about the girl she's gonna be

Stuck in Rice County, growing her wings

She wants to fly and never look down

But tonight she's tucked inside a tiny little town

In a little twin bed all safe and sound

And there's so much

More room for running and space to discover

A whole wide world to see

She's dreaming about the girl that she's gonna be

Stuck in Rice County, growing her wings

Growing her wings
