It took New York to make me a cowboy Now everybody knows Even if I change my clothes Familiar, but strange, like an android From every gapin' hole A new garden fully grows from me Wasn't ready, I wasn't ready I had a foot in my mouth, oh Saw the cutters through barbed wire I didn't know I could come out Undoin' the weavin' of the old roots My greatest enemy Took up residence in me I feel like a criminal with no history Runnin' from the law Though I really loved them all Wasn't ready, I wasn't ready I had a foot in my mouth, oh Saw the cutters through barbed wire I didn't know I could come out I wasn't ready, I wasn't ready I had a foot in my mouth, oh, no I know her everything by memory I'm just a girl from the south Born from the beige These feelings made me feel strange A neon sign Not the only one of my kind It took New York to make me a cowboy Now everybody knows Even if I change my clothes Familiar, but strange, like an android From every gapin' hole A new garden fully grows Born from the beige These feelings made me feel strange A neon sign Not the only one of my kind This is how I felt in the Bible Belt Wanna be that girl for someone else
