andrew gerle, dj salisbury, pisk, keri rene fuller - who's evie now? lyrics

[verse 1]
i know what they think
i know what they see
stupid hick from nowhere, kansas
stringy hair and callused hands
a simp, a weakling, a rube

they’re right. that’s who i was before
but is there somewhere
someone more?

[chorus]
who’s evie now?
is she sweet or sly or hard as brass?
snapped by a breeze, or does she snap
back?
dry her tears
put her war paint on, get off her ass
i’ve no clue
who’s evie now?

[verse 2]
plain and shy
the kind of girl you’d walk right by
as bold as bread
you’d miss me in an empty shed
i knew one song in one key
a chorus of “no, i’ll be fine, don’t mind me”
but

[chorus 2]
who’s evie now?
is she dirty? flirty? dripping class?
everyone’s friend?
or a python?
no matter which
gotta learn that i ain’t made of glass
and find out
who is evie now?

[verse 3]
is there a world where i call the shots?
star of the show
and not some mouse from the prairie?
maybe (maybe)
is there a game where i hold the cards?
where the rules aren’t so hard
so ugly, so scary?
maybe (maybe)

i’m sick of evie, quick to please
excuse the bruises on her knees
so shameful (blameful)
is there a me who writes her own songs
chooses the key?
who would that be?
and what if i’m not that strong?
what if i get it wrong?
and find out that there’s nowhere
in this whole, wide world i belong?
[chorus 3]
no!
this evie now
is a new yorker with a spine of steel
her past, just a shack
in the rear view
i’ll start afresh
make some friends and find a home that’s real
and maybe
they’ll love evie now

i took a swing, and i missed
but i’m not out yet
gonna show them that this miss can swing
i’ll dance them all off the stage
and i’ll never even break a sweat
show time
for this evie now!

[outro]
so call me my car
dip my cigarettes in shalimar
in a year
maybe less
i’ll be sky+high!
burn like a star!
who knows? maybe i’ll have my own bar!
and they’ll say
“who’s that evie?”
and i’ll say
“i’m that evie!”
and they’ll know
who is evie
now!
