Taking Back My Brave

I am from the tiny town

Where I learned how to tough it out

Where I kicked the dirt an' my dreams around

To conquer the whole world

My uncle slipped me fifty bucks

Some rolled their eyes an' wished me luck

Yeah, I spent the first night in the cab of my truck

An' I am still that girl

I like a challenge an' I like to fly

I'm not always perfect, I'm not always right

When I go to weddings, it always makes me cry

My heart is fragile an' I can be hurt

An' I can crumble inside at the drop of a word

But I can jump off a limb into a river of change

I'm taking back my brave

I kinda lost it for a while

I had to force myself to smile

An' I quit going that extra mile

Abandoned my belief

An' I spent hours on the phone

Crawlin' back to my comfort zone

Then I woke up one day, said, "I'm not runnin' home

It's just not like me"

'Cause I like a challenge an' I like to fly

I'm not always perfect, I'm not always right

New born babies always make me cry

My heart is fragile an' I can be hurt

An' I can crumble inside at the drop of a word

But I can jump off a limb into a river of change

I'm taking back my brave

I'm my momma's only girl

The child in a mess

(I've always been that way)

I've been pushin' the limits

Since I was little, yeah, yeah

Oh, my heart is fragile an' I can be hurt

An' I can crumble inside at the drop of a word

But I can jump off a limb into a river of change

I'm taking back my brave

I'm taking back my brave, yeah

Takin' it back, back

I'm takin' it back, back

I'm taking back my brave, yeah

Takin' it back, back
