REBA MCENTIRE - For Herself lyrics

rate me

(shawna harrington-burkhartliz hengberreba mcentire)

Uncle slim had let her know she couldn't ride that horse

He was the one that was only meant for men

She walked around till way after dark

Rode that horse with all her heart

And in the night how she rode

Chorus:

Somehow she always knew she had the strength inside

And even if she fell she'd survive

In spite of all the tears she may cry

This is how she has to live her life

As hard as it may beshe has to find out for herself

Mama and daddy told her from the start he was no good

They'd seen how he treated the other girls

She waited around till the sun went down

Slipped out of the house not makin' a sound

And in the night oh how they drove

Repeat chorus:

It was fifteen years to the day he became a stranger in her eyes

In the coldest words of anger

He said without me you won't survive

There's a suitcase in the closet she had packed six months ago

She don't leave a note that's not her style

So she waited around till way after dark

Left that man who broke her heart

Now she's goneoh she's gone

Repeat chorus:
