From the recording Mother Road
Lyrics
When I was just a young thing mama sat me on her knee
Said all I want for you is to be what you want to be
Now don’t let nobody tell you
That you can’t, I know you can
And the last thing that I’ll tell you
Don’t change yourself for any man
When I was growing up I got some similar advice
But when I went into the world I came to realize
That this life can be a battle
And you need some friends to help you fight
So I found some badass ladies
And they’re drinking with me here tonight
I don’t need a papa
I don’t need a prince
I don’t need a preacher trying to save me from my sins
I might need a friendly bartender to pull that bottle off the shelf
Long as I got my whiskey sisters with me
I don't need nobody else
When things don’t seem to go my way and I start feeling low
I get my girls together, let that golden liquor flow
But the love that flows between us
Is the whole reason for this song
My friends are sweeter than the whiskey
And ten thousand times as strong
I don’t need a papa
I don’t need a prince
I don’t need a preacher trying to save me from my sins
I don’t even need a bartender, I’ll just pour it out myself
Long as I got my whiskey sisters with me
I don’t need nobody else
Long as I got my whiskey sisters with me
I don’t need nobody else
Long as I got my whiskey sisters with me
I don’t need
I don’t need
Nobody else
