Small town church on Sunday
Granny in the pew next to me
Knowin she's prayin bout one day
And the girl that I'll turn out to be
Dolly's up singin hallelujah
Hearin those hymnal pages turn
Preacher said bow your head and that's where I stayed till I learned
To be a fighter
And stand up tall
Always be a soft place to fall
Pay no mind to fame or glory
This is my life, this is my story
Daddy was killed by the bottle
Fightin like hell to be free
Momma only knew survival
An angel watchin over me
Everybody's got a little darkness
But there's sure to be a light up ahead
Listen to your heart and the ones who walked this road before you
Be a fighter and stand up tall
Always be a soft place to fall
Pay no mind to fame or glory
This is my life, this is my story
Never saw a moon that wasn't blue
Till I took the hand of a music man
I better have it figured out by now
So I can teach our daughter how
To be a fighter
And stand up tall
I'll always be there when you fall
I sing this song for no fame or glory
This is my life, this is my story
This is my life. This is my story
