Lyrics
i was a poor man's daughter, stone cold broke
but i knew how to barter and i learned how to smoke
and i cut my hair short and i fled when i could
and i never did linger, don't know why i would

a desperate naysayer, i played to the stones
that made up the bedding for my aching bones
no one to turn to and nowhere to run
can't never go home, i'm no prodigal son

seawater, fields, and maidenhair ferns
i crossed the whole country to learn what i learned
and if i got injured and if my heart hurt
it was all worth remembering all i got is the dirt

a tangled wet wood where i followed a rabbit
the forests all say "don't make greatness a habit
because the giants all shrank and the dragons died out
and the forests burned up, no use crying about it"

i do not know song without knowing the nickel
and i have not had friendship without befriending the sickle
and hunger's another way to pass all this time
and it's only love that i run from and hide
