my breast is cradled
  in the curve of my guitar
  I'm breaking strings
  and other things
  playing hard
  no I'm not on the rag
  but I'm not on the run
  I am matching the big boys
  one for one
  and I must admit,
  I'm having myself some fun
    because the music business
  is still run by men
  like every business
  and everything
  but we can sing like a sonofabitch
  make them twitch around their eyes
  make them apologize
    he had a mean streak
  three miles wide
  it was a long walk
  to the other side
  she tried to get through it
  holding on to her smile
  but he wasn't worth the time it takes
  to make that mistake
  he just wasn't worthwhile
  she's been under command
  of the wrong man
  and she'll give you everything
  except the upper hand
  she was his mother, and his lover,
  and his wife
  now she wants the luxury
  of her own life
    'cause the marriage business
  is still run by men
  like every business
  and every thing
  but she can sing like a sonofabitch
  make him twitch around his eyes
  girl, make him apologize
    they all want to lead the fight
  and they know what they know all right
  but there's so much
  they don't understand
  what about the other sex
  what about the other hand
  they only know what they've been told
  and they're well cast
  but they don't break the mold
  and good sources are not enough
  so she calls their bluff
  yeah, she calls their bluff
    'cause the revolution business
  is still run by men
  like every business
  and everything
  but we can sing like a sonofabitch
  make them twitch around their eyes
  until they realize
  they just don't realize
