Defiant
Don’t feel bad, my brothers told me
You’ll never be as fast, but that’s okay
‘Cause you’re a girl, you can’t expect to run like us
But that only made only made my fire burn brighter
I could do better than good enough
I’ll never forget my brothers’ faces
The first time I left them in the dust
I am defiant
I am defiant
You’re eighteen, you better get married
He’s a good guy and he’ll take care of you
‘Cause, baby girl, you might not do better than him
I said, “Daddy, I’m not gonna settle,
This is not the life I’m looking for,
I got a guitar and forty dollars,
I’m gonna do this on my own.”
I am defiant
I am defiant
Gonna live my life the only way I know
Ain’t afraid to take long hard road
‘Cause I am defiant
The odds are low my doctors told me
This is moving fast and you should focus
On the time you got, and we’ll make sure you’re comfortable
But I’m not taking this lying down
I can say that much is true
Someday I’ll write my last chapter
But I’m telling you now it won’t be soon
I am defiant
I am defiant
I am defiant
I am defiant
Gonna live my life the only way I know
Ain’t afraid to take long hard road
‘Cause I am defiant
