No One-Way Throne

Verse 1

Met a fella down in Amarillo

Swore his woman walked on holy ground

Said she never missed a single shadow

Couldn't see the cracks when she came around

He bought the crown she never earned it

Tip-toed quiet trying to keep the peace

Every fight he lost before he learned it

Now he's begging sweetheart pretty please

Pre-Chorus

But I grew up watchin' mama work the land

She said wrong ain't got no gender

It's a lesson in the sand

Chorus

"Woman always right" that's a load of Texas dust

Ain't no magic in a pair of lace

Wrong is wrong in God we trust

So take that sayin' off your face

I ain't sayin' she's the enemy

But she ain't the gospel either friend

Love ain't built on blind amen

It's built on standin' side by side again

Verse 2

Had a buddy in Fort Worth county

Wouldn't dare to speak his mind

That girl took his wallet his truck his bounty

Left him wonderin' what he left behind

Now I'm not sayin' women fold easy

I've seen 'em haul more than their share

But that little sayin' makes me queasy

Ain't no person perfect anywhere

Pre-Chorus

I watched my daddy hold his ground with grace

He said wrong ain't got no gender

Just a truth we gotta face

Chorus

"Woman always right" that's a load of Texas dust

Ain't no magic in a pair of lace

Wrong is wrong in God we trust

So take that sayin' off your face

I ain't sayin' she's the enemy

But she ain't the gospel either friend

Love ain't built on blind amen

It's built on standin' side by side again

Bridge

Respect ain't given it's a two-way road

I'll carry her burdens light her load

But I won't kneel to a one-way throne

'Cause that ain't love that's all alone

Chorus

"Woman always right" that's a load of Texas dust

Ain't no magic in a pair of lace

Wrong is wrong in God we trust

So take that sayin' off your face

I ain't sayin' she's the enemy

But she ain't the gospel either friend

Love ain't built on blind amen

It's built on standin' side by side again
