Jolene - My Ally Creed (feat. Trey Hensley & Rob Ickes) Lyrics

She didn't choose to be born a girl
And they didn't choose to want to be
She would play dress up with grandma's pearls
While they were placed in little league
She can't imagine what life's like to walk in those shoes
But no one quite pulls off them high heels the way they do

So put me in my place
Tell me when it's time to walk away
Call me up from the crowd I'll sing loud and stand proud
I will be here whatever you need
This is my Ally creed

He didn't choose the color of his eyes
And she didn't choose her with ethnicity
They could both end up with DUIs
But they'll call his bad publicity
She is counting lucky stars for breath in her lungs and a beating heart
Cause based on the shades of the color you are the badge may take up arms

So put me in my place
Tell me when it's time to walk away
Call me up from the crowd or tell me to stand down
I will be here whatever you need
This is my Ally creed

I didn't choose the prince of peace
My raisin chose him for me
Brought up to fear the Middle East
While praying on bended knee
Covered by the blood and the great flood
To cleanse all my sins
But the hypocrisy of heavens policy is the house always wins

So put me in my place
Tell me when it's time to walk away
Call me up from the crowd or telling me to stand down
I will be here whatever you need
This is my Ally creed
