[Verse 1]

Gazin' out the windows of the bus

Watchin' Maryland pass by

There was sky, and where there wasn't

There was the thought of us

Maryland passed, and so did I

[Chorus]

Soft like wax, sharp as an axe

Both can't be true in my world

New indentations cover my back

Goddamn it, I'm at least somebody's strong girl, mm

Aren't I?

[Verse 2]

You surprised me on the road, I didn't catch

Your distinct footfalls up the stage

I'll admit that made the tour less of a drag

And like a child or a fool, I hoped you'd stay

[Chorus]

Revolving doors spit me out onto the street

Sling my bags over my shoulder and cry

Press my belly, pull the tab

And just maybe I'll flash my teeth

[Post-Chorus]

The achе's the best index for drivе

In my mother's words

"Just drag your heels and don't you draw a line

Be strong, girl"

Strong girl

[Bridge]

It's to the death

Or less than nothing

I'm a pendulum, I don't know where I'll land

I just know that I can swing it, I'll always swing it

[Chorus]

'Cause goddamn it, fuck if I'm not everybody’s

Strong girl, mm

Ooh, strong girl

Who am I if I can't be everybody's strong girl? (Strong girl)

Strong girl (Strong girl)

Aren't I?
