Juanita Lyrics

She is the restless river
Running through my veins
She rides without the reins --
Her name's Juanita
She lives in the heart of every
Woman in the world
Within the reach of every girl
Who wants to meet her
(She's going to be riding through)
Her name's Juanita
(She's going to be riding free) She's riding free
(She's going to be inside of you, going to be
Inside of me) She's inside of you
And inside of me, yeah

Chorus:
Oh, go with her -- flow with her
Dream with her -- scream with her
Let her take over, or just get to know her
Be everything you can be
If you can find her and free her
Juanita will unchain your heart

When someone tries to take
Away the freedom of your choice
To take away your voice --
That's when you need her
She's there if you dare to give
Your broken wings a try
C'mon and take a leap and fly
And you can be her

(She's going to be riding through) Oh, Juanita
(She's going to be riding free) Riding free
(She's going to be a part of you, going to be a
Part of me) She's a part of you and a part
Of me, yeah

Repeat Chorus

Oh, go with her -- flow with her
Dream with her -- scream with her
Let her take over, or just get to know her
Be everything you can be

Repeat Chorus

You're Still The One

From This Moment On

Man! I Feel Like A Woman!

That Don't Impress Me Much

Forever and For Always

She is the restless river
Running through my veins
She rides without the reins --
Her name's Juanita
She lives in the heart of every
Woman in the world
Within the reach of every girl
Who wants to meet her 
(She's going to be riding through)
Her name's Juanita
(She's going to be riding free) She's riding free
(She's going to be inside of you, going to be
Inside of me) She's inside of you
And inside of me, yeah

(She's going to be riding through) Oh, Juanita
(She's going to be riding free) Riding free
(She's going to be a part of you, going to be a
Part of me) She's a part of you and a part
Of me, yeah

Repeat Chorus

Oh, go with her -- flow with her
Dream with her -- scream with her
Let her take over, or just get to know her
Be everything you can be

Repeat Chorus

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I recently was accepted to a music industry camp in Nashville and I went to the local Sound Emporium recording studio on a field trip. Juanita, the woman in this song, works as the manager of this studio. She talked to all the campers about her life and line of work managing a studio, one story of which was about a young Shania Twain coming into the studio talking of how she'd be the Madonna of country. Juanita told us all of how they grew up together and how Shania's career grew to what it is today. As the story went on, one day she said that she received an email with an attachment from Shania and she opened it to find a song file; this song, that Shania wrote about her. This was such a moving story to hear even though I am not a Shania Twain fan. The song is about their friendship through being partners in the industry.

Thanks for sharing the story. I am a huge Shania fan, Even though I have never met her, I am a Male, and listen to Country music, Shania's songs have helped me get through difficult times. 2 divorces, unemployment, loneliness, Shania has the most positive impact. Now I do like Turner, Strait, Big & Rich, Keith, Jackson, Judds, and all the others, however Shania speaks to my soul. I neve knew who Juanita was until reading your comment.

I imagined that Juanita was her inner soul (Shania's) and she spoke to it. Nice to know the correct meaning.

Thank You so...
