"Independently Owned" lyrics

Alex Newell & Original Broadway Cast Of Shucked Lyrics

"Independently Owned"
(from "Shucked" soundtrack)

I'm independently owned and operated
The only thing around here that's incorporated
I do it all and that's fine by me
I'm a one woman whiskey dynasty

I'm independently owned and liberated
And I think sleeping alone is underrated
Don't need a man for flatteries
Got a corn cob and some batteries

And I'll never say I do if I really don't
If settling means settling down, then I won't
Being a wife just ain't the life for me

I'm independently owned and complicated
And, no, I don't need a man to feel emancipated
The boys 'round here sure ain't much help
This corn ain't gonna shuck itself

There might be someone that I ain't met yet
And no disrespect to Miss Tammy Wynette
I can't stand by my man, he'll have to stand by me, oh

I'm independently owned and modulated
And every man that I meet is just intimidated
I won't change who I've always been
A W-O-M-A-N
W-O-M-A-N

I'm independently owned and celebrating
I'm independently owned and educating
I don't depend on anybody but me
And I live my life
Independently
So independently
Independent
Operating, modulating, celebrating
Liberated, calculated, educated
Underrated, motivated, advocated, intimidating
Independently
