Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Born on a hard dirt floor
With a storm at the door
Mama cried, “Be strong, girl”
But the world hit back for more
Small hands, heavy chores
Big mouths, slammed doors
I learned to keep my head low
And swallow what it pours
[Chorus]
I got sugar in my bones
(Oh, I got sugar)
I got sugar in my bones
(It’s mine, it’s mine)
You can bruise my days
You can shake my home
But you can’t own
The woman I’ve become
[Verse 2]
First love wore a cruel grin
Took my trust and left me thin
Took my blue dress, took my sleep
Made my soft heart hide its skin
Every “sorry” tasted cheap
Every promise ran too deep
I wore shame like Sunday gloves
And cried where no one would hear me
[Chorus]
I got sugar in my bones
(Oh, I got sugar)
I got sugar in my bones
(It’s mine, it’s mine)
You can bruise my days
You can shake my home
But you can’t own
The woman I’ve become
[Verse 3]
Then one dawn I saw my face
In a cracked-up bathroom pane
Black-and-blue around the eyes
Still, there was fire in the rain
I said, “Baby, that’s enough”
Kissed the hurt and called it bluff
Wrote my name across my heart
And that was healing, plain and rough
[Bridge]
I held my own two hands
When no one else would stay
I picked the glass from my soul
And threw the shame away
I was never made to break
I was never made to kneel
I looked that mirror dead in the eye
And made a deal
[Chorus]
I got sugar in my bones
(Oh, I got sugar)
I got sugar in my bones
(It’s mine, it’s mine)
You can bruise my days
You can shake my home
But you can’t own
The woman I’ve become
[Outro]
Now I dance with my own name
Now I sleep in my own skin
If love was ever lost on me
I found her back again
I found her back again
(Yes, I did)
I found her back again

Close-mic female vocals, warm room echo, little slide-guitar flicks, tape hiss, and a smoky, intimate mix., blues
