Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Phone rings, baby cries, TV diet guru lies

Good morning honey

Go to work, make-up, try to keep the balance up

 Between love and money

Chorus

 She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows

Sign her letters with X's and O's

 Got a picture of her mama in heels and pearls

She's tryin' to make it in her daddy's world

 She's an American girl

 An American girl

Slow dance, second chance, mama needs romance

 And an live-in maid

Fix the sink, mow the yard, really isn't all that hard

 If you get paid

Chorus

 Well she's got her God and she's got good wine

 Aretha Franklin and Patsy Cline
