Jewel Stephenville, TX song lyrics

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 the the stardust has turned to sand

And the sand has turned to stone on the starmaking machine

I'm 31 years old

That ain't the end but it sure ain't where I began

And my daddy, he wrote songs and he broke colts

And he went back to school to get a degree

Now he teaches music to kids, he taught music to me

And this Alaskan girl has been living in Stephenville, Texas, that is

Yes, you guessed it, I moved there because I fell in love with a man

I moved his ex-old lady's thing out of the closet

The same closet I had to move my things back in

No, it didn't make me feel that great, as if to demonstrate

Everything's temporary if you give it enough time

I'm 31 years old

That ain't the end but it sure ain't where I began

But hey, I'm just a kid, 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 pretty mediocre cook, an even worse mathematician, maybe a mother one day

What will it be?

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 the mindlessness on TV

We all read magazines on the latest ways to behave

So 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

Ya know, everybody thought Godard was a clown man

And 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 makes it Stephenville, Texas
