(Oh, na, na, na)

She hosts a T.V. show, she rides the rodeo
She plays the bass in a band
She's an astronaut
A valet at the parking lot
A farmer working the land
She is a champion, she gets the gold
She's a ballerina, the star of the show

She's not just a pretty face
She's got everything it takes

She has a fashion line
A journalist for "Time"
Coaches a football team
She's a geologist, a romance novelist
She is a mother of three
She is a soldier, she is a wife
She is a surgeon, she'll save you life

She's not just a pretty face
She's got everything it takes
She's mother of the human race
She's not just a pretty face

Oh, oh, yeah
Oh na, na, na, na
She is your waitress, she is your judge
She is your teacher
She is every woman in the world

Oh, la, la, la
She flies an airplane
She drives a subway train
At night she pumps gasoline
She's on the council, she's on the board
She's a politician, she praises the Lord

She's not just a pretty face
She's got everything it takes
She's mother of the human race
She's not, oh

No, she's (she's) not (not)
Just a pretty face
She's (she's) got (got), everything it takes
She's not just a pretty face
She's got everything it takes
She's not just a pretty face

    when she sings this song, it makes me think she's singing about one woman that does all these amazing things. she's beautiful but she's also very talented. and she's trying to get all the guys to see that she's more than "just a pretty face."

    Yes, she wrote this song for her mother. Her mother was a huge part of her life. She used to pump gasoline, so that is why Shania put that line in there. I dedicated this song to one of my teachers, I think it's absolutely inspirational and great!!! :D

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
