My mini Taylor Swift

I have a mini Taylor Swift....

..... only she doesn't have blond curly hair

and

....... she can't play the guitar (yet)

and

........ she doesn't have any award winning songs

and

......... she doesn't have a tour bus

and

......... she doesn't live in Nashville

and

.......... she's never won a Grammy or a CMT award

and

........... she doesn't make a lot of money

But, other than that, she's just like her.

She even taught herself to play one of her songs on the piano... but only with the right hand: she's still working on the left.

And, she has been writing her own songs for as long as I can remember. Some of them are so good, I ask her where she heard it. Some of her songs... um, not so good.

I found one she wrote. Unlike my blogging friend Sharla, I don't ask my kid's permission to share their stories. Giving birth earned me the right to share.

I found this song laying around the house one day after I heard her singing it:

Big in the country

Small in the city

Cause I'm a small town girl

Not makin much money

Bare foot and a hoodie

jeans and pigtails

oh yeah

Chorus:

Seems like everyone thinks small town girls won't make it too far

They say they don't make much down on the farm

Well, I think it's fine and

It's all mine

Lovin just what I do

Oh, it's true

Small town girl

Four kids and a husband

Gettin lots of lovin

All so beautiful

Two kids have freckles

Others have dimples

Oh, so special

Can't get enough of watch'n em grown up

And it's all so sweet

Somethin' you just can't beat

Repeat chorus

I don't even know what to say about that. I am not sure where she's getting all her.... information/experience. She's home schooled. I pretty much know where she is 24/7.

Anyway, here is the piano piece she taught herself.
