flour and smiles - outlaw version

The guards came one evening,

Took my mama away.

Left us with nothin'

But debts to pay.

Found her in the fishnets,

Cold as the sea.

She fought like hell,

But they stole her from me.

Worked those docks,

'til my hands were shot.

Learned real quick

what my momma fought.

cause they came for me,

Said I had no choice.

But a street rat kid

Gave me back my voice.

So I rode that wagon,

Crossed those miles.

Built me a life

On flour and smiles.

Flour and smiles!

That's how I survived.

Flour and smiles!

Still kickin' alive.

They can call me trashy.

while i'm rockin this skirt

But I'm still standin'

And thas got to hurt.

I got bread in the oven.

Got friends at my side.

Got my home bakery

And a whole lotta pride.

And somewhere out there

Is that boy I knew.

the one who saved my life

after facin the knife.

So if I find him,

You can bet your cash,

I'm gonna kiss that fool...

and hold him to last

Flour and smiles!

That's how I survived.

Flour and smiles!

Still kickin' alive.

They tried to break me.

Look how that went.

they tried to break me

but Im just bent
