Verse 1

She kept her clothes pins in a little white bag

That hung on the clothes line off the birch tree out back

She’d tend to the garden while the wash dried in the sun

She worked hard at doing what had to be done

She stood on her word and her own two feet

God bless that woman in me

Verse 2

She said faith’s like a rock that can skip like a stone

And life’s like a river that don’t always flow

But nothing worth having is outside your reach

God bless that woman in me

Bridge

Just when I think that I’m running on empty

My dreams have left me … And I’m all out of love

Then I know I need to go back to the heart

Of where I came from

Verse 3

I’ve lived and I’ve loved, I’ve won and I’ve lost

When I take a gamble I don’t count the cost

I cross over borders and step over lines

‘Cause the only real fences are the ones in your mind

And I think to myself if I’ve turned out to be

The woman(man) I wanted to be

God bless that woman, God bless that woman,

God bless that woman in me
