I’m a Survivor (revisited) Songtext
von Reba McEntire

I was born three months too early
The doctor gave me 30 days
But I must′ve had my mama's will
And God′s amazing grace

So, I guess I'll keep on living
Even if this love's to die for
′Cause your bags are packed, and I ain′t crying
You're walking out, and I′m not trying
To change your mind 'cause I was born to be

The baby girl without a chance
A victim of circumstance
The one who ought′ve give up
But she's just too hard-headed

A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids, and never stops
With gentle hands and a heart of a fighter
I′m a survivor


I don't believe in self-pity
It only brings me down
I may be the queen of broken hearts
But I won't hide behind the crown

And when the deck is stacked against me
I just play a different game
My roots are planted in the past
And though my life is changing fast
Who I am is who I want to be

The baby girl without a chance
A victim of circumstance
The one who ought′ve give up
But she′s just too hard-headed

A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids, and never stops
With gentle hands and a heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor

A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids, and never stops
With gentle hands and a heart of a fighter
I′m a survivor

Oh, I must've had my mama′s will
And God's amazing grace
