Pink Sweater - Lori McKenna

Colors confuse you

Light in your eyes will abuse you

You are weak and hollow

Blinded by beliefs that I cannot swallow

The world will condemn you

Your beliefs will release but never defend you

You are cold but you boil

You are lower than dirt but not worth the soil

So believe in yourself

Because far behind the bars you’ll have nobody else

And the hall to a dead man’s cell is long

But I’ll be the one in the pink sweater

Dancing around when you’re gone

So tell me what were you thinking?

Can’t blame it on drugs, can’t blame it on drinking

Can’t say we’ll forgive it

Cross burning and blazes for the worst kind of bigot

So believe in yourself

Because far behind the bars you’ll have nobody else

And the hall to a dead man’s cell is long

And I’ll be the one in the pink sweater

Dancing around when you’re gone

Yeah I’ll be the one in the pink sweater

Dancing around when you’re gone

And the martyrs run like thieves

While hang men dangle from trees

But you won’t feel a thing

I can’t believe that your last name is King

But I heard God

I heard God’s black

So what you gonna do when you’re up against that?

Think He’s got a noose ready for you?

Think He’s got a chain and a truck and He’s bullshit at you?

So believe in yourself

Because far behind the bars you’ll have nobody else

And the hall to a dead man’s cell is long

But I’ll be the one in the pink sweater

Dancing around when you’re gone

Yeah I’ll be the one in the pink sweater

Dancing around

I’ll be dancing around when you’re gone
