Même schema que le 1er couplet

And my daddy, he wrote songs and he broke colts
And he went back to school to get a degree
Now he teachs music to kids, he taught music to me
And this Alaskan girl was living in Stephenville, Texas
Yes, you guessed it, I moved here because I fell in love with a man
And I moved his ex-old lady's things out of the closet
The same closet I had to move my things back in
It didn't make me feel that great, as if to demonstrate
Everything's temporary given enough time

____D
I'm 31 years old that ain't the end
________________ G
sure ain't where i began

But hey, I've got nothing to lose I'm a singer for crowds,
I'm a writer of songs Hey Mom, look, I'm an entertainer

I'm a modern day troubadour trying to find justice with six strings
Trying to make the world make sense out of me
Trying to be loved completely, trying to love honestly
Trying to find a decent high noon cup of tea in another hotel

I'm trying to listen to the leaves speak
Trying to steal secrets from fishes in the creek
Trying to figure out who I am
A singer, a pretty mediocre cook, maybe a mother one day
What will it be?

I'm trying to figure out who I am
But there's no hand to hold, no Doctor Martin Luther King
There's just syncophants
And the mindlessness on TV or in the magazines
On the latest ways to behave
So hey! why not follow me, the blond bombshell deity?
I'll sell you neat ideas without big words
And a little bit of cleavage to help wash it all down
You know, everybody thought Godard was a clown
And that ain't gonna be me

____D
I'm 31 years old that ain't the end

Guess that just makes it Stephenville, Texas
