I am from the tiny town,

Where I learned to tough it out.

WhereI kicked the dirt an' my dreams around,

To conquer the whole world.

My uncle slipped me fifty bucks:

Some rolled their eyes an' wished me luck.

Yeah, I spent the first night in the cab of my truck,

An' I am still that girl.


I like a challenge an' I like to fly.

I'm not always perfect; I'm not always right.

When I go to weddings, it always makes me cry.

My heart is fragile an' I can be hurt,

An' I can crumble inside at the drop of a word.

But I can jump off a limb into a river change:

I'm taking back my brave.


I kinda lost it for a while,

I had to force myself to smile.

An' I quit going that extra mile.:

Abandoned my belief.

An' I spent hours on the phone,

Crawlin' back to my comfort zone.

Then I woke up one day; said I'm not runnin' home:

It's just not like me.


'Cause I like a challenge an' I like to fly.

I'm not always perfect; I'm not always right.

New born babies always makes me cry.

My heart is fragile an' I can be hurt,

An' I can crumble inside at the drop of a word.

But I can jump off a limb into a river change:

I'm taking back my brave.


I'm my Momma's only girl;

The child in a mess.

(I've always been that way.)

I been pushin' the limits,

Since I was little, yeah, yeah.


Oh, my heart is fragile an' I can be hurt,

An' I can crumble inside at the drop of a word.

But I can jump off a limb into a river change:

I'm taking back my brave;

I'm taking back my brave, yeah.

Takin' it back, back.


I'm takin' it back, back.

I'm taking back my brave, yeah.

Takin' it back, back.
