But I’m here to tell you

I’m back on the stage tonight

This girl’s no quitter

I’ve got guts and glitter

Ready to battle

I’m back in the saddle

Tearing up this stage tonight

He’s all muscle and handsome

Josh had me for ransom

Taking his love out to play

He’s a sweet-talking boy

Who brought nothing but joy

Til’ he left me abandoned

On a stage in New Orleans

But I’m here to tell you

I’m back on the stage tonight

No, this girl’s no quitter

I’ve got guts and glitter

Ready to battle

I’m back in the saddle

Tearing up this stage tonight

This girl’s no quitter

I’ve got guts and glitter

Ready to battle

I’m back in the saddle

Tearing up this here stage tonight!

“We have to celebrate this,” I said, while holding onto her. “This is a first for all of us.”
