White Dress lyrics

I’m 24 years old
I won’t live this way anymore

See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun

Alabama May
Dogwoods and redbuds
See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun

Burning alive
Burning inside
But you won’t burn me down

Now the bus slows
And the driver runs away
See my blackness shining in the sun
See my blackness shining in the sun

Little white girl
May I have a glass of water
See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun

Burning alive
Burning inside
But you won’t burn me down

I’m 24 years old
I won’t live this way anymore

See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun
See my white dress shining in the sun
