Couldn't have been but a hundred pounds
Soaking wet
All stressed out and worried
In Podunk, Missouri
I don't know how or why or when
Her daddy left
But he drove off in a fury
She grew up in a hurry
Now skinny jeans and Maybelline
Make pretty girls do crazy things
Teenage tears and bathroom mirrors
Will stick with you throughout your years
Trust me
It's all so ugly
Picket fence, two car garage
A man she don't love
But he makes six figures
And she'd thought he'd fix her
That iron gate feels more and more
Like an old bird cage
Than a way to keep out the danger
So she takes to liquor
All the champagne brunches and upperclass shine
Can't keep a woman satisfied
Swimming pools and bows and braids
And the baby thinks mama's a live-in maid
If you ask me
I think it's so ugly
So give me a rusty old grain silo
Give me good food that sticks to my bones
Thank you for that good, good man that loves me
With dirt on my hands and scrapes on my knees
The feeling at night when I wash it all clean
I'm telling you girls, it's a beautiful thing
Trust me
It's so far from ugly
Eighteen wheels and an open road
I sing my songs
All across this country
Because these people trust me
So give me a rusty old grain silo
Give me good food that sticks to my bones
Thank you for that good, good man that loves me
He loves me with dirt on my hands and scrapes on my knees
The feeling at night when I wash it all clean
I'm telling you girls, it's a beautiful thing
Trust me
It's so far from ugly
