country girl

i have always been a country girl at heart, a die-hard shania twain fan from the beginning of time pretty much. anyways, i've been refreshing my country roots lately. i seem to have forgotten how much i love it. LOVE IT. it always speaks to me in weird lovely ways. so today, i was listening to my country girls on my itunes, and well this song came up, and i just feel like it is so me right now. its called "Born to Fly" from Sara Evans. I love her.

Born to Fly

I've been tellin' my dreams to the scarecrow
About the places that I'd like to see
I say 'friend, do you think I'll ever get there?'
Aww, but he just stands there smilin' back at me

So I confess my sins to the preacher,
About the love I'd been prayin' to find
Is there a brown-eyed boy in my future, yeah?
He says 'girl, you got nothin' but time.'

But how do you wait for heaven?
And who has that much time?
And how do you keep your feet on the ground
when you know
That you were born, (that you were born, yeah), you were born to fly?

My Daddy he is grounded like the oak tree
My Momma she is as steady as the sun
Oh, you know I love my folks, but I keep starin' down the road,
Just lookin' for my one chance to run

Hey, 'cause I will soar away like the blackbird
I will blow in the wind like a seed
I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams
And I will grow up where I wander, wild and free

Oh, how do you wait for heaven?
And who has that much time?
And how do you keep your feet on the ground?
When you know, that you were born
You were born yeah
You were born to fly

So how do you wait for heaven?
And who has that much time?
And how do you keep your feet on the ground?
When you know that you were born
You were born to fly fly fly fly

Hey
Oooooh, ooooh
