Never cared bout the tv screen
On the other side of that old screen door
I learned the important things
Sitting on Grandma Jeanne's front porch
She told me how they built the highway
Showed me how they used to dance
Said you don't just pray on Sunday
Fate will come around and change your plans
So be
CHORUS
Steady as the Mississippi
Wild as the North Dakota wind
Sweet as the summer rain falling on golden plains
You could change the world don't think you can't
Turn a devil into a hell of a man
She always said to me be who you wanna be
Cause what this world needs
Is another good woman
There's wrong turns in a taillight town
That seem right when times get tough
If mama wasn't there to straighten me out
Lord knows where I would've wound up
She said you get back what you give
So don't be afraid to give it all
Cause life is worth the trip
And love is worth the fall
So be
CHORUS
Yeah I'm learning, yeah I'm learning to be
Yeah I'm learning, yeah I'm learning to be
Steady as the Mississippi
Wild as the North Dakota wind
Sweet as the summer rain falling on golden plains
I could change the world, don't think I can't
Turn a devil into a hell of a man
They always said to me be who you wanna be
Cause what this world needs
They always said to me be who you wanna be
Cause what this world needs
Is another good woman
Never cared bout the tv screen
On the other side of that old screen door
