is she worth her weight
in silver or gold
Is she too much to carry
or too hard to hold
Is she a burden
such a heavy load
Or is she enough
the way she is
Could it be
without her boots and jeans
she might be
a little lighter
easier to carry
Is she too much
to handle
too hard to control
Does she come across
a little too strong
show where she was raised
and what she thinks
does she move her body
as if she knows her strength
and how to use what she has
Wouldn’t things be different
if she didn’t reckon
that she was certainly
worth her weight
in gold
