New Girl

Standing out on the bus stop, trying not to feel cold
I'm going into the first grade at another new school
I am only eight years old, and I just lost my friends
All the way back in Florida for these Ozark Mountains

I'm always the new girl, the new girl
I'm always the new girl, the new girl
I am always the new girl, the new girl
God help the new girl, the new girl

Standing out on the playground looking down at my legs
And I notice they're hairy, I'm embarrassed and ashamed
I am only ten years old, and I just lost my dad
We moved away to the country to a place called "Michigan"

I'm always the new girl, the new girl
I'm always the new girl, the new girl
I am always the new girl, the new girl
God help the new girl, the new girl

I'm all alone in a crowd that's the way it's always been
It's like I'm trying somehow to never quite fit in
I am only 30 and I just lost my faith
I'm openin' like a flower, more exposed to the pain

I'm always the new girl, the new girl
I'm always the new girl, the new girl
I am always the new girl, the new girl
God help the new girl, the new girl
