The Other T aylor Swift

[Verse 1]
Raised where the blacktop turns to mud
Deep back in them Tennessee hills
Mama’s still living up that way
And I reckon she always will
I had my name before them neon lights
And all her gold records hit
Oh, she took my fame and took my pay
That other Taylor Swift

[Pre-Chorus]
She got the stages
I did hard time
She got the money
I did the crime

[Chorus]

I’m the other Taylor Swift
The one they never play
No barroom gigs, no record deal
Despite how hard I pray
I don’t sing about old flames
I don’t dance 'neath no lights
I just fade across the county line
Like a shadow in the night
She got the fame
And I got stiffed
I’m the other Taylor Swift

[Verse 2]
I spent my years behind the wheel
Just chasing down a dime
Watching every dream I had
Get swallowed by the grind
I wanted lights and velvet ropes
My name up there in print
But she’s the one who got the gift
And I’m the other Taylor Swift

[Pre-Chorus]
She got the stages
I did hard time
She got the money
I did the crime

[Chorus]
I’m the other Taylor Swift
The one they never play
No barroom gigs, no record deal
Despite how hard I pray
I don’t sing about old flames
I don’t dance 'neath no lights
I just fade across the county line
Like a shadow in the night
She got the fame
And I got stiffed
I’m the other Taylor Swift

[Bridge — Half-Time]
Every room gets quiet
When they hear my name
Then somebody starts laughing
Like they’re in on some big game

I push my shades back up my nose
And tell them, “Listen here—
I ain’t that girl you’re thinking of,
That ought to be damn clear.”

[Instrumental Solo]

[Spoken Outro]
And if you still ain’t noticed…
I’m a boy.
