Sober Girl Lyrics - Amy Ray

I'm a Sober Girl, not for any good reason 

I found myself on this road I'm on 

It felt a lot like treason 

To my last girlfriends, who could never understand 

When it comes to love, I wanted purity. 

I felt the loneliness of the world, in the city so I got out of there 

I found myself at the end of a long dirt road 

It felt a lot like nowhere 

To my last girlfriends, who could never understand 

When it comes to life, I wanted purity. 

When I was young, in every camptown song I sung 

I was aching just to be 

With someone, who could lay me down where the rivers run 

Who was able, who was free. 

Free of this manmade world and all the bargains we made with fear 

That slowly whittle us down to nothing 

It felt a lot like despair 

But I found someone, who was still standing when it was done 

And with the purest heart, she said these words to me-
