[Alternate verse lyrics]
You can do anything, anything you choose
you can go anywhere the spirit takes you
Once you asked me, how could I love you
You think you're just small town girl

Don't try to please them, you should be yourself
Petty minds, you can rise above it all
Your ink and metal, expressions of your soul
I love you just the way you are
