Housewives told to recapture their youth  By wearing floral print and suede  Fixing their hairdos with PC, chemical-free hairspray  Martha Stewart taught them to make on TV  I was raised a farmgirl  Now I'm too far from home, all alone on the road  Trying to figure out who I am now that the stardust has turned to sand  And the sand has turned to stone on the star-making machine I'm 31 years old  That ain't the end but it sure ain't where I began My daddy, he wrote songs and he broke colts  And he went back to school to get a degree  Now he teachs music to kids, he taught music to me  And this Alaskan girl is living in Stephenville, Texas that is,and  Yes, you guessed it, I moved there because I fell in love with a man  I moved his ex-old lady's things out of the closet  The same closet I moved my things back in  No it did not make me feel that great, as if to demonstrate  Everything's temporary if you give it enough time  But hey, I've got nothing to lose  I'm a singer of songs, I'm a player for crowds  Hey Ma, look, I'm an entertainer  I'm a modern day troubadour trying to find justice with six strings  Trying to make the world make sense out of me  Trying to be loved completely, trying to love honestly  Trying to find a decent high-noon cup of tea  In another hotel  I'm trying to listen to the leaves speak  Trying to steal secrets from fishes in the creek  Trying to figure out who I am  A singer, a pretty mediocre cook, an even worse mathematician, maybe a mother one day  What will it be? And I'm 31 years old  That ain't the end but it sure ain't where I began I'm trying to figure out who I am  But there's no hand to hold, no Doctor Martin Luther King  There's just syncophants  And mindlessness on TV, we all read magazines  for the latest ways to behave  So hey, why not follow me, the blond bombshell deity?  I'll sell you neat ideas without big words  And a little bit of cleavage to wash it all down  Hey, everybody thought Godard was a clown, man  that ain't gonna be me And I'm 31 years old  That ain't the end but it sure ain't where I began  And I'm 31 years old  That ain't the end but it sure ain't where I began  Guess that just means it's Stephenville, Texas
