Violet's Song

Hard times on the plains,
Cold nights and freezing rains
could not break me down.
Truth is hard to hold
harder when its told
it will not break me down.
Creep by my bedroom door
walk softly on the floor
so not to make a sound
House filled with viscious lies
Pounding hearts and babies cry
it will not break me down
Born and raised to stand my ground
to this house I am bound for ever, for ever.
I will not break I will not bend,
always ready to defend for ever, for ever.
Cowboy boots and a desperate prayer
Christmas gifts that were never there,
will not break me down.
Whispered plans to be laid,
plans to leave our love betrayed,
it will not break me down.
Born and raised to stand my ground
to this house I am bound for ever, for ever
I will not break, I will not bend
always ready to defend for ever, for ever.
Old and broke, filled with fear,
when alls gone I’ll still be here,
it will not break. me down.
Look around you will see,
theres nothing left but me,
it will not break me down…
