Man Up


Man Up

I let people push me around
I just do what everyone tells tells me to do
I dress the way people won’t me to dress
I even talk the way I’m told to talk
But enough is enough
It’s time for me to do what I want to do
It’s time for me to man up
because I’m a cowgirl through and through
And nobody can tell me what to do

I walked into that station
And I handed in my resignation
He told me I was making a big mistake
And I told him I was just tired of being fake
Always having to put on a pretty face
Always having to stay in the same place
But enough is enough
It’s time for me to do what I want to do
It’s time for me to man up
because I’m a cowgirl through and through

I went back to working on my daddy’s farm
He always told me I was his good luck charm
But now he had some cowboy
Doing all the heavy lifting
He thought he was hot stuff
He thought he was really tough
But I played along
even though
he was doing it all wrong

But when he told me
that I should just put an apron on
and go cook him up a meal
I said enough is enough
It’s time for me to do what I want to to do
It’s time for me to man up
Because I’m a cowgirl through and through

I wanted him to see what I
Can really do
So I grabbed my pitchfork
And showed him the right way
To gather up hay
I got on my tractor
And showed him how you plow a field
I got on my horse
and showed him what I can do with my rope
While he just stood there
Looking like a dope
with his hands tied behind his back
so now he knows what I can really do
And when I say enough is enough
It’s time for me to man up
Because I’m a cowgirl through and through
