[Verse 1]
Gazin' out the windows of the bus
Watchin' Maryland pass by
There was sky, and where there wasn't
There was the thought of us
Maryland passed, and so did I

[Chorus]
Soft like wax, sharp as an axe
Both can't be true in my world
New indentations cover my back
Goddamn it, I'm at least somebody's strong girl, mm
Aren't I?

[Verse 2]
You surprised me on the road, I didn't catch
Your distinct footfalls up the stage
I'll admit that made the tour less of a drag
And like a child or a fool, I hoped you'd stay

[Chorus]
Revolving doors spit me out onto the street
Sling my bags over my shoulder and cry
Press my belly, pull the tab
And just maybe I'll flash my teeth
[Post-Chorus]
The achе's the best index for drivе
In my mother's words
"Just drag your heels and don't you draw a line
Be strong, girl"
Strong girl

[Bridge]
It's to the death
Or less than nothing
I'm a pendulum, I don't know where I'll land
I just know that I can swing it, I'll always swing it

[Chorus]
'Cause goddamn it, fuck if I'm not everybody’s
Strong girl, mm
Ooh, strong girl
Who am I if I can't be everybody's strong girl? (Strong girl)
Strong girl (Strong girl)
Aren't I?
