Norma was born in Louisiana, America
In the deep south Pentacostal Jehovah
Her trouble with the law began at the age of ten
Robbin' the register with a sweet girlfriend
Her first child was the product of a broken relation
And passed into the hands of an ungrateful nation
I am Roe, she said
If you don't know what it's like
Then you can't say no!
I am Roe, she said
If you haven't been in that situation,
Then who are you to decide for a nation?
Norma fell deep into the drug addiction
Another baby came and went up for adoption
At the age of only 21 she was pregnant again
And thought to herself, I just want an abortion
Now Texas had a law against the medical care
The women in Texas
I guess they're just chattel down there
I am Roe, she said
If you don't know what it's like
Then you can't say no!
I am Roe, she said
If you haven't been in that situation,
Then who are you to decide for a nation?
There's no point in arguing
The right and the wrong
When the truth is only to be found in a song
There's no point in arguing
The right and the wrong
The truth is only to be found in a song
I am Roe, she said
If you don't know what it's like
Then you can't say no
I am Roe, she said
If you haven't been in that situation, baby
Then who are you to decide for a nation?
Who are you to decide for a nation?
Who are you to decide for a nation?
Who are you?
