Buckwild, Barefoot and Unbothered

V6

[Verse 1 – Smoky, raspy female alto, playful Southern sass, melodic singing] Woke up smiling, sunshine on my face Coffee in my cup, ain't running no race Threw on a sundress, let my hair hang free Nobody's stealing this joy from me High heels hiding underneath my bed Barefoot living is the life I've led Drove to the market, singing off-key Dancing in my seat, feeling wild and free Walked through the doors with a little hip swing Moving to a song only I could sing Some lady stared like I'd lost my mind I said, "Honey, get in line" She shook her head, I shook my hips Figured she was jealous of the view Life's too short to live by their rules I'm barefoot, free, and nobody's fool! [Chorus – Powerful, joyful female country-soul singing] Barefoot and unbothered, living my way Ain't nobody ruining my day Let 'em talk, let 'em stare Got sunshine tangled in my hair Little bit naughty, whole lotta nice Living this life ain't happening twice If you don't like my attitude Bless your heart, that's on you! [Verse 2 – FAST Southern female country-rap, rapid-fire flow, crisp diction, fierce attitude, rhythmic delivery] Aisle one, aisle two, dancing past the bread Got a hundred happy thoughts inside my head Produce man grinned, said, "Come over here" Got something special for you, my dear "Wanna feel my eggplant? It's firm today!" I said, "Honey, put that big thing away!" He said, "It's the biggest one I've ever grown" I said, "Congratulations, I’ll leave it alone!" Meat man said, "You like your sausage hot?" I said, "Depends on how much you got!" He said, "Got a package just your size" I said, "Lord, you're full of surprises!" Spin by the cereal, slide by the cheese Ain't nobody putting limits on me Some lady yelled, "Ma'am, hold up!" I said, "Honey, I ain't slowing up!" [Chorus – Playful, powerful melodic female singing] Barefoot and unbothered, living my way Ain't nobody ruining my day Let 'em talk, let 'em stare Got sunshine tangled in my hair Little bit naughty, whole lotta nice Living this life ain't happening twice If you don't like my attitude Bless your heart, that's on you! [Verse 3 – Flirty, mischievous female singing, expressive comedic timing] Stopped at the bakery, smelling that bread The baker looked up, turned bright red He said, "Girl, you like your hot buns filled?" I said, "Depends on who's got the skill!" He said, "Mine are fresh and piping hot!" I said, "Sugar, show me what you got!" Two old ladies said, "Honey, you're showing out!" I said, "Y'all should really enjoy the show" One pointed down, the other looked away I said, "Bless your hearts, have a beautiful day" A little girl giggled, started dancing too I said, "Baby, you just keep being you" Her mama smiled, then covered her eyes I thought, "Lord, what a strange surprise" Everybody staring from the front to the back I figured they just couldn't handle all that [Bridge – Warm, soulful, emotional female singing] Spent too many years trying to please Now I live my life with a little more ease Ain't wearing shoes just to fit your mold Ain't hiding my light because you're cold If I fall, I'll laugh and rise Got too much living left inside Let 'em judge, let 'em see Ain't nobody gonna change me [Final Chorus – Big, joyful, powerful female country-soul singing] Barefoot and unbothered, living my way Ain't nobody ruining my day Let 'em talk, let 'em stare Got sunshine tangled in my hair Little bit naughty, whole lotta nice Living this life ain't happening twice If you don't like my attitude Bless your heart, that's on you! [Outro – Playfully overconfident melodic singing, building comedic suspense] Made it to checkout, feeling mighty fine Still doing my C-Step in the grocery line Bag boy said, "Ma'am, those buns ain't cheap!" I said, "Honey, these are mine to keep!" Self-checkout said, "Please insert your item" I said, "Lord, don't tempt me, I'm excited!" Then it yelled, "Unexpected item in the bag!" I said, "Honey, that's no way to brag!" The cashier laughed till her face turned red I said, "Girl, what's going through your head?" She said, "Ma'am, we've tried to tell you" I said, "What? That I'm a sight to view?" She tried to whisper, "Girl, turn around!" I said, "Honey, I'm the talk of this town!" The whole damn store had seen the show From the produce aisle to checkout row I laughed so hard I nearly fell Took a baow and said, "Oh, what the hell!" Turns out I gave 'em more than a show... [Final Line – Fully sung, sudden realization, bold Southern sass, hilarious punchline] MY DRESS WAS TUCKED IN MY UNDERWEAR! [End]
